Career

Niki DeMartino’s career began in 2010 when she, Gabi, and Alex launched the YouTube channel 00RemakeGirls, posting covers, sketches, and parodies. In 2012, she and Gabi created Niki and Gabi (originally nikiandgabibeauty), which gained over 9.4 million subscribers with beauty tutorials, fashion content, and music videos.

Their 2013 parody of Rebecca Black’s “Friday” went viral, boosting their fame. The duo signed with AwesomenessTV and StyleHaul in 2012, releasing their debut single “We’re Not Over” in 2014 and “It” in 2015.

Their EP Individual (2018) charted at #14 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums and #32 on Independent Albums, featuring Niki’s solo track “Let It Roar.” Niki launched her solo YouTube channel, Niki DeMar, in 2014, now with over 2.3 million subscribers, sharing vlogs, covers like Halsey’s “Strangers,” and behind-the-scenes music content.

Her solo music career took off with “Let It Roar” in 2018, followed by singles like “Alone In My Car” (2020, 5 million streams) and “Bite of Me” (2020). Her debut EP, Nights Alone (2021), was performed live at Gramercy Theatre, and her 2023 EP, Ruined My Life, reflected personal growth post-breakup.

She acted as Sadie in Hulu’s Freakish (2016) and Mia in Dance Camp (2016). In 2019, she launched her jewelry line, NikNaks, with the Charmed Collection. Despite controversies, like a 2019 video criticized for stereotyping and a 2020 TikTok deemed insensitive, Niki remains a prominent influencer with 3.9 million Instagram followers (@niki).
