Biography
Nicole Lauren Ryan (née Salpeter) is a TV and Radio Host who started her career working at the front desk of the Sirius-XM offices while it was still a fledgling start up company. Nicole worked her way up being on the radio, doing promos and sweepers.
Producers for SiriusXM took notice of Nicole's natural fit for radio; her voice was pleasing, she was likable, and she could strike up a conversation with anyone that came walking through the studio doors. It wasn't long before they offered her the co host position on The Morning Mash Up, their most listened to morning show (next to Howard Stern), on Hits 1. Nicole was an instant success and quickly expanded her role to include entertainment reporter and producer for Hits 1's "411" segment which provides listeners with hourly updates in the world of music, movies, television, and pop culture as a whole.
As the popularity of Morning Mash Up continued to grow, Nicole solidified herself as a pop culture expert and started to branch out into television. She made appearances on E!'s Chelsea Lately, The Food Network's Guys Big Bite and Vh1's You Oughta Know Concert series. Before long she landed her own weekly show on Fuse TV titled The United States of Hip Hop where she interviewed such industry heavyweights as: Talib Kweli, Kendrick Lamar, Chris Rock and many more. Recently, VH1 had her co host guest appearances on their Morning Buzz with Nick Lachey.
Nicole Ryan has also been a spokesperson for Nivea, 808 Audio, Uppababy and Stella Valle. As Nivea's Brand ambassador Nicole co hosted the "Nivea stage" in Times Square on New Year's Eve for two consecutive years in 2013 and 2014. She also frequents red carpets acting as a correspondent for various networks including OK!TV.
Nicole's magnetic and quick witted personality is the reason she is a requested interviewer by many well known celebrities including: Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Seth Rogan, Katy Perry, Hugh Jackman, Lady Gaga, Neil Patrick Harris, J. Lo and Adam Levine. Her approach is disarming, and it allows Nicole to lock her guest and her audience into an engaging conversation that is interesting and meaningful.
Perhaps the most appealing thing about Nicole is her balanced life and her diverse interests. Not only is she a TV/Radio Host, Brand Ambassador and Pop Culture Expert, she is also a Key Note Speaker, Chef, Wife, and Mother. Ms. Ryan holds each role in her life with the same weight. As Nicole moves forward in her professional career, she looks to increase her presence in the Television space with Sketch Comedies, MC or hosting gigs for shows such as E! News, Extra, Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, etc.
