Career

DeLoach became part of The All New Mickey Mouse Club in 1993. When The All New Mickey Mouse Club was cancelled in 1995, she briefly returned to her local high school before heading to Los Angeles with her grandmother to start her acting career.

Her film roles included Gunfighter's Moon and The Traveller, along with appearances on television in Misery Loves Company. In 1998, she joined the Innosense, a girl group, which was managed by Lynn Harless, Justin Timberlake's mother.

The group served as an opening act for both *NSYNC and Britney Spears, with tepid success in Europe but little impact in the United States. Before disbanding in 2003, the group had a cameo appearance in the film Longshot. Nikki shifted her concentration to acting after Innosense broke up.
