Nikki Sweet is an artist who contains multitudes — sex worker, singer and record label founder. She’s a self-proclaimed “queer artist, shameless slut, proud sex worker and art is my catharsis.”

She created her label, V.O.W. (or Vibing Over Whoreism), for artists who face stigma in the industry. And while Sweet may be the first and only signee, she is dedicated to expanding the label to help her NYC community. She has fundraised with kink sessions, lap dances, merch sales, raffles and ticket donations through her Brooklyn-based party series.
