Willing to bet she's less proud of you. I really hope your "surviving high school" is a joke. Can't be bothered to watch it, because I suspect it isn't.
I'm a 42 year old man and I started feeling like a school girl around a boy-band... except this lady has some serious talent. Sing me to sleep anytime.
I am a self taught bass player with slight listens I'm at that level but YOU THE TRUTH. I even learned a trick or two from you. Stay Beasty . In your case Beast - ie
Soul and groove are vibrating from her voice to her fingers like crazy, this is good, pure, sincere and true, keep going like that, that's what I call music, the one going under your skin and making you smile and move without controlling yourself ;)
you fell from the moon, today, till now did not know of your existence, and I was moved to hear you, I salute you and I wish you a great career from Italy ciao P.
dam!!!! that glowing skin..that smile..that saucy voice..and that bass playing...make a grown man cry..mercy!!! so glad i did not pass this one buy...thanks for sharing your passion with the world..much respect..
I had a pretty long night trying to get by selling food. Even after a shower I still smell of burgers, fries, and dishwasher water. This makes me me ready for another.
So very a great woman, with great instrument, were my inspiration, for never in all my life stop the play the bass electric, and double bass, God bless your hands baby!
Why am I just now discovering your music and why aren't you all over the radio! You are absolutely amazing! May God continue to bless you and your talent beyond measure. Do you do live performances or are you available for bookings? If so, please let me know how.
Was surely my best friend. Gone too soon!... This was his beanie that he took off and gave to me while we were in Australia this year. It's a hard video for me to watch now.
***** Did you just happen to be in Australia touring at the same time or did he invite you? Of course he played solo and was here for just over a week and only announced his shows a matter of days before he arrived .. I couldn't believe it when I read a review of him playing in Melbourne 4 times the previous week! How many times did you attend the magical performances? You are so lucky to have known Prince personally, and musically :)
You’ve got a lot of soul and you can really sing. I’d love to see the simplicity of you and your bass recorded for a song. I know it can’t be done but wish it could.
Every time I watch one of your videos, the seamless integration of your voice and amazing bass lines leaves me in awe! And the perfect harmony and rhythm!! Why is my jaw dropped and my mouth open!!! After watching you, I can’t say that I play a bass, I can only say I have one. You are simply incredibly awesome!
Oh my goodness!!!your bass skills are amazeballs!!!! Chic you have such funk!oh wow!!!love the feel!!!!!So happy I found you online!!!!Sweetest!!!The groove!!!!
not only the skills in bass are extremely sophisticated, but the vocals are amazing as well!
Thanks so much!!!

Oh man that whole video was magical!
I wish I could like this video more than once. so smooth.
I think I Love her when starts to get Just Nasty around 2:25 I got chills
Pure talent. Let's start a 21st century women music revolution!
I could listen to her for ages, what a voice and talent !
Proud to say that’s my cousin 🥰!
Willing to bet she's less proud of you. I really hope your "surviving high school" is a joke. Can't be bothered to watch it, because I suspect it isn't.
It seems a great tribute to 'If you want me to stay to me' , I really love It❤
glad you like it!
All I can say sis is wow! You are full of talent and deep soul.
I'm a 42 year old man and I started feeling like a school girl around a boy-band... except this lady has some serious talent. Sing me to sleep anytime.
haha
Girlie! You tore this song us. Such a big talent. Peace and blessings!
I can’t fathom how awesome this is. I suck so much at slap bass, and she is singing with so much soul.
Cherish that Beanie! A legend has blessed you! How awesome! RIP PRINCE!
Good god a’ mighty I love this female!
This slams into my top 5 music discoveries of 2020. So good. Thank you!
Man. I never want her to stop playing and singing these covers. It's perfection.
It's a joy to listen to you play
I am a self taught bass player with slight listens I'm at that level but YOU THE TRUTH. I even learned a trick or two from you. Stay Beasty . In your case Beast - ie
@Andre Shaw... Do you know what chords Ms. West plays at the intro/verse? I just started self-taught a few months ago. Thank You!
Literally the one inspiration that made me pick up and start playing the bass guitar. Thank you.
😲 Wow! I'm in love
I came here for the Elite. I stayed for the great Nik West. Can't wait to catch you live again.
Way too amazing. She slappin'
This could be a perfect definition of what 'groove' is... I just love it Nik
Love this and her.Major Talent. Amazing.
Soul and groove are vibrating from her voice to her fingers like crazy, this is good, pure, sincere and true, keep going like that, that's what I call music, the one going under your skin and making you smile and move without controlling yourself ;)
This woman has the spirit of music flowing through her veins i swear
Gurrrl you killed it! 😃🔥 voice so effortless and damn rockin it on a bass gahhhh dayummmmm
What beautiful playing, beautiful soulful singing and a beautiful woman. Fabulous. Thank you for posting, Ms West.
you fell from the moon, today, till now did not know of your existence, and I was moved to hear you, I salute you and I wish you a great career from Italy ciao P.
OH MY GOSH....!!!! This version....!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!
Did Macy Gray and Marcus Miller have a baby? You are amazing.
LOL! That's pretty interesting.. I can hear it though. hehe
If they did,...Bootsy Collins must have crept in one night and hit it too. :-)
Blk chick + rasp = Macy Gray lol. Your voice is lower, richer, and smoother than Macy's though (no shade Macy.)
Maybe they got down while covering that Prince song "Girls and Boys" ruclips.net/video/FuEt5aibpn0/видео.html
@@shadowmixx Yes...lol
This one is my favorite!
I can't get enough of this performance, it's simply amazing!
Thank you!

+TheEeturHedd94 thank you...I'm forever learning...
+TheEeturHedd94 Thanks for the love.. anytime!
that would be great if you could actually learn that amount of knowledge in only 2 months
This right here is the voice of life
Damn! So smooth!
My favourite are people who play bass (well) and sing (well)! ❤
I had a pretty long night trying to get by selling food. Even after a shower I still smell of burgers, fries, and dishwasher water. This makes me me ready for another.
so moving! hope you find what you were looking for!
Grooovy !!
So very a great woman, with great instrument, were my inspiration, for never in all my life stop the play the bass electric, and double bass, God bless your hands baby!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I had to listen again!! At work dancing and vibing..Yass get it lady!!
I'm 36 next week and I'm inspired by how good you're to pick up an instrument (guitar/bass) again. Thanks for this♊️😀
I love this tune really translates to a bass vocal tune too
Why am I just now discovering your music and why aren't you all over the radio! You are absolutely amazing! May God continue to bless you and your talent beyond measure. Do you do live performances or are you available for bookings? If so, please let me know how.
OMLord.... What a Groove... What a Voice... What a Woman
I love love love this song. Musiq Soulchild's version was good, but this is great.
His version? Creation. Agreed this is a amazing version.
Nik is nasty with that bass!
What is your secret to singing and playing at the same time? AWESOMELY FIERCE AND FUNKKKKYYY!!! :D
Seriously... best... ahem.... BEST... cover on the tube of you... other contenders for sure.... you, still #1... bassheads unite!
Pqp véi! Top demais.
That chorus was straight FIRE!!! Thats some mad bass skills
Prince was tweeting this one and that was how I saw it.. Prince posts dated 2/26/16..
+Carolyn the real Prince did?
Yes you can still see his tweets (a lot) by searching Prince (@prince) on Twitter :)
Was surely my best friend. Gone too soon!... This was his beanie that he took off and gave to me while we were in Australia this year. It's a hard video for me to watch now.

@@NikWestBass Thanks 4 all. Your slap is really killing me 🤪
Kisses from Paris
honestly if any one doesn't instantly fall in love with you after you play this song for them well they have no heart, so awesome
The voice of an angel. Davie504 brought me here.
Same lol
He's entertaining. I was wondering if he knew of her.
Same here....!!!!

Ha ha. . Me too, she owns a beer to Dave768
Beautiful Soulful Vibes! ♥️
Who the fuck can dislike this?
+tube9ovejas Apparently someone can. Boggles my mind. I'm really stressing the "one" in someone.
+tube9ovejas LOL! There's that one person that follows all my videos and dislikes all of them as soon as they're posted... haha! kidding.. thanks!!
+NikWestBass This is truly marvellous
+tube9ovejas One person who hates everything.
+tube9ovejas Brother/Sister, I have no idea!
What fantastic bass player with a beautiful voice fantastic Nik 🎼🎶🔥🔥🔥👌🏼
who are the 33 unfunky people that disliked this?!
A McGuire they jealous bitches
LOL! It's okay... gives me an opportunity to practice more and get better.
A McGuire those folks who could dislike this have no soul. no soul at all.
Stinko 407 people who are tryna pressure you and can stop thinking about you (you really gotta be their boyfriend) 😕
Fools
Your voice is so natural and refreshing. Pure and simple NikWest rocks!
Jesus the original is dope but DAMN she smashed this amazing
Absolutely fabulous bassist and great vocalist top-three winning formula.
This is wonderful! You should totally do a cover of an Amy Winehouse song.
I hear that so often.. I think it's time to do it! I love her voice.
Awesome! I can't wait to see it.
Also, Amy would have turned 33 today. So it would be fitting. :)
What a beautiful lady, with a gorgeous voice, and stellar bass skills!
Wow, thank you!
man that is a shame to be that funky. Go take a bath because you are too funky. I love those vocals. Dope.
Wooooow, was NOT expecting any cover of this song to be THIS good!! This was amazing!
I wonder how many marriage proposals she gets in any given month?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😮😢😢😢🎉😂😂😂😊😊
chills all the way through
My ex-husband asked me to check her out and I LOVE HER SOUND!
This woman is absolutely amazing!!!
Warning: things get SERIOUSLY funky at 1:02
+Isabel Freeman hahaha!!! Thanks
Yes! Just yes! I applaud you queen! Groove on....

You would hope someone called you back?! Have you taken a look at yourself?!?! You're pure ART! I'd call you everyday!
She's so great...I love you Nik...
so so so good 👍
This girl is insane, love it !
Cool! Reminds me of Lydia on Bass 4… about 15 years ago. I learned it after I saw that, too. Great fun! Sounding good!
You’ve got a lot of soul and you can really sing. I’d love to see the simplicity of you and your bass recorded for a song. I know it can’t be done but wish it could.
I can't stop replaying this one. Absolutely beautiful! like country folk say "you put your foot in it"
Straight fire. And cuteness overload
Every time I watch one of your videos, the seamless integration of your voice and amazing bass lines leaves me in awe! And the perfect harmony and rhythm!! Why is my jaw dropped and my mouth open!!! After watching you, I can’t say that I play a bass, I can only say I have one. You are simply incredibly awesome!
