Nikki Yanofsky: MusiCares Person of the Year Tribute!

Nikki Yanofsky hits the red carpet at the 2011 MusiCares Person of the Year Tribute on Friday (February 11) at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

The 17-year-old singing sensation performed at the pre-Grammy gala for Barbra Streisand, who was the night’s honoree.

“I don’t really get nervous,” Nikki said. “I get nervous when I feel that I’m not prepared. But I’ve been preparing a lot for this, so I’m pretty sure that it’ll be all good.”

“Honestly, [Barbra] has one of the best voices of all time. I guess as a singer, also, I can really appreciate her technique. She’s so technically perfect and everything she does is so well thought out. I can’t say enough,” she added.
