Nadjah Nicole and Adee talk about Wilmington's music scene

Downtown Wilmington really is the place to be for great live music.

Tuesday evening, a crowd of people at Bobbi Rhian's on Market Street were treated to performances by Nadjah Nicole, who is impressing the judges on the hit show The Voice, and Adee, a hip hop singer from Sweden.

After the show, our cameras caught up with the two performers and asked about their impressions of the Wilmington music scene:

We are fortunate to have so much great talent here and venues like Bobbi Rhian's, the Nomad, World Cafe Live at the Queen, the Grand Opera House and many more to provide the space for artists and audiences to come together.
