Chi Waller

Nicole M. Acree, known professionally as Chi Waller, is an independent artist, creative entrepreneur, and founder of Superstar Dream Entertainment. For more than two decades, music has remained the foundation of her work, spanning music production, artist development, original scripts, photography, videography, and community talent showcases. Rooted in Chicago’s West Side and shaped by neighboring Oak Park, Waller began singing in her church’s junior choir at three years old. She discovered the gift of writing at ten, began pursuing music seriously by twelve, and founded Music With Meaning (M.W.M.) Records a month before her fourteenth birthday, which later evolved into Superstar Dream Entertainment. Before reintroducing herself as Chi Waller, she performed under the name Aaliyah Nicole, opening for Grammy-nominated R&B artist Raheem DeVaughn, Grammy-nominated songwriter Curt Chambers, and internationally acclaimed violinist Ken Ford. She also served as the lead spoken word artist in two filmed episodes of Reverse the Willie Lynch Curse, a documentary by the late Tommy Ford of the beloved sitcom Martin. Her music has been streamed nearly 200,000 times across major music platforms, with additional international radio and digital media reach. Whether inviting listeners to reflect, question, laugh, dance, celebrate, or simply enjoy the moment, Chi Waller creates music that is as honest, expansive, and ever-evolving as the life that inspires it.
