The voice behind "Hush" is this week's Artist Spotlight. Number 1 on the Panda 305 Top 11, second week at the top.
"Hush" climbed from number 7 to number 3 to number 2 to number 1 in four weeks. A slow burn that the city caught onto, one spin at a time, until it could not be ignored.
Nikki Russell is an indie singer who took the first AUXFEST stage in July 2026 and has been working ever since. She performed at the Tricks and Tracks Halloween party at The Banyan Live in West Palm Beach on October 24, 2026, and she is live at the Amapiano Tea Party on November 14.

Every week, Panda picks one indie artist from the show and the chart and puts the light on them. Real talent, real momentum, no pay to play.
