Nicole Serrano Comes Out On GMA , Premieres New Single ‘Nice To Meet You’

After a lifetime of singing Christian music, performing with major acts around the world, Nashville-based singer/songwriter Nicole Serrano came out publicly as a gay woman for the first time in an appearance on Good Morning America. Serrano grew up in a conservative household where her dad owned a Christian book store, she was raised Christian, and has performed & written Christian music for years. She’s now sharing a new side of herself, evolving her sound & creative passion into a fuller frame of what’s always been there. In addition to speaking to Robin Roberts about coming out while being part of a religious family, she also premiered her new single, “Nice To Meet You,” as an exclusive on GMA. The song not only reintroduces her to the world but holds a double meaning reflecting on getting to know and love herself. https://youtu.be/TNlNdZPBM_Y?t=204 You have probably already heard her music on major networks including ABC, CBS, VH1, MTV, ESPN, & Netflix on shows like Grey’s Anatomy, The Good Doctor, Station 19, Younger, Selling Sunset, and more. In fact, her cover of the Creed hit “Arms Wide Open” was featured in a spot for this year’s Academy Awards. After a music career steeped in a deep history of worship music, she’s now carving her own path between soul & alternative pop.

The lyrics tell the tale the singer has wanted to share since she was very young.

Hello, it’s nice to meet you / I’ve been hiding for so long Hello, might be surprising / That I can’t fight it anymore It’s not me that’s coming out / It’s you who’s coming in Hello, it’s nice to meet you / I’m not hiding anymore

“I have not even considered that this could be a song that somebody uses to come out with,” she says. “That would be the honor of my life.” https://youtu.be/BlcG_lmWf_0 In exploring her music and talent, I found Serrano to be incredibly gifted. She not only has a gorgeous, distinctive musical perspective, but an independent spirit to just get out and be who she is. Here’s just some of our conversation (slightly edited for brevity/clarity) about the struggles of coming out after living a life in the Christian church.
