She has an ambiguous relationship with Rosemary, whom Nicole is friends with, but probably also knows is romantically involved with her husband. Nicole is charming to those she likes-almost every man she meets falls in love with her-but snobbish to those she doesn’t. She is tanned and elegant and enjoys spending her enormous inheritance on sustaining her extravagant lifestyle. At 24 years old, Nicole is classically and mesmerizingly beautiful. “Observatory Mansions” shows Nicole’s songwriting progressing, with reverb-soaked guitars, echoing synths & stirring samples coming together only to intensify the pull of her stories of love, violence, sexuality and death - all of which would be horrifying if they weren’t so enchanting - a recurring yet poetic tension in Nicole Dollanganger’s world.Nicole Diver is the “granddaughter of a self-made American capitalist,” and she uses her family wealth to provide for her children and husband, Dick.

Nicole Dollanganger has been quietly crafting her own world since 2012. Nicole Dollanganger Toronto, Canada Biography //
