Nikki has released 2 full length albums, the critically acclaimed live album "Ella... Of Thee I Swing" (2008), and her debut studio album "Nikki" (2010).

Nikki recorded the Ella Fitzgerald classic "Airmail Special" for Verve Records and it was released in June 2007 on the album We All Love Ella: Celebrating the First Lady of Song. Produced by Tommy LiPuma, this track made Yanofsky the youngest singer ever to record for Verve.

In September 2008, Yanofsky released her first full-length album, a live CD/DVD concert package entitled "Ella... Of Thee I Swing". Supported by her production company, A440 Entertainment and distributed in Canada and Japan by Universal Music, it garnered critical acclaim and earned her two Juno Award nominations in 2009: 'New Artist of the Year' and 'Vocal Jazz Album of the Year'. She also won 'Favourite Jazz Artist' at the 2009 Canadian Independent Music Awards.

Songwriters Stephan Moccio and Alan Frew chose Yanofsky to sing CTV’s broadcast theme for the 2010 Winter Olympics, "I Believe.” The Song reached number one on the Canadian Hot 100 on the week of February 27, 2010. This made her the first Canadian artist to have a number one song on that chart since "Girlfriend" by Avril Lavigne topped the chart in 2007. The song was certified “Quadruple Platinum” for digital downloads in April 2010.

Nikki recorded her first studio album, Nikki, with 14-time Grammy Award-winning producer Phil Ramone. Along with the album-release of "I Believe", it includes some of Yanofsky’s first original works—writing in collaboration with Jesse Harris (of Norah Jones fame) as well as fellow Canadian songwriters Ron Sexsmith and Feist. It was released in April 2010 by Decca Records and was supported by an international tour. Nikki earned a Juno nomination for "Vocal Jazz Album of the Year", and won the WAVE Smooth Jazz Award for "Female Vocalist of the Year."

Nikki has performed internationally at jazz festivals and major concert venues both solo and alongside such well-known artists as Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, Wyclef Jean, Celine Dion, The late Marvin Hamlisch and The Count Basie Orchestra.

In 2008, Yanofsky received the Outstanding Youth in Philanthropy award from the Quebec Chapter of The Association of Fundraising Professionals. Over her career, she has helped raise over $10 Million for local, national and international charities. She is currently associated with The Montreal Children’s Hospital, The Children’s Wish Foundation and MusiCounts.

Jeepers Creepers 2.0
Nikki Yanofsky Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time you talk to me
I see those big brown batters
You can almost guarantee
I'll be at a loss for words

Every time you walk my way
I get all flustered
I just don't know what to say

When I wanna flirt with you

Oh Jeepers Creepers
Where'd you get those peepers
Jeepers Creepers
Where'd you get those eyes
Oh gosh, oh get up, how'd they get so lit up
Gosh oh get up how'd they get that size

Every time you make a move
It's like I'm frozen
Cause you are oh so smooth, you got me paralyzed
Glad you set me in your sights cause you're so charming
When your look locks into mine
I'm still taken by surprise

Oh Jeepers Creepers
Where'd you get those peepers
Jeepers Creepers
Where'd you get those eyes
Oh gosh, oh get up, how'd they get so lit up
Gosh oh get up how'd they get that size

Oh Jeepers Creepers
Where'd you get those peepers
Jeepers Creepers
Where'd you get those eyes
Oh gosh, oh get up, how'd they get so lit up
Gosh oh get up how'd they get that size

Oh Jeepers Creepers
Where'd you get those peepers
Jeepers Creepers
Where'd you get those eyes
Oh gosh, oh get up, how'd they get so lit up

Gosh oh get up how'd they get that size
Oh those eyes
