About

As a child, Nikeisha Andersson discovered film not through ambition, but through survival. After a close family member was murdered, she fell into a deep depression and sought refuge in television - most notably the series Charmed. What began as comfort soon turned into curiosity: how stories were constructed, how emotion was shaped, and how images could offer both escape and meaning.

By the age of eleven, that curiosity became creation. Nikeisha began downloading her favorite TV shows, re-editing scenes into music videos set to songs she loved, and uploading them at the very dawn of YouTube. Within a short time, her edits amassed hundreds of thousands of views - revealing an instinctive visual language long before she understood filmmaking as a profession.

At sixteen, she entered the professional industry after co-creating a highly publicized flash mob in Stockholm titled Waka Waka Stockholm, which gained global attention when Shakira shared it on social media and featured it on her official website. The momentum continued rapidly: at seventeen, Nikeisha directed her first three commercial productions for Swedish Idol, and by nineteen she was commissioned to direct the official UEFA Champions League music video for women’s football, Winning Ground.

During her twenties, Andersson’s practice expanded beyond screen-based storytelling. She was selected to design and build a permanent installation  The Dance Box - a full third-floor addition at Scenkonstmuseet, where the work remains on display as part of the museum’s core exhibition. Shortly thereafter, she released her debut feature film, earning two Guldbagge nominations, including Best Film and Best Costume Design.

Following this period, her work reached an increasingly international scope. She has collaborated with global brands and artists including Pernod Ricard, OVO Sound, and directed a music video for Dennis Graham. Her career has also brought her into collaboration with talent and producers connected to her early inspirations, as well as major production companies such as Bunim/Murray Productions, known for Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

To date, Nikeisha Andersson has directed and produced over 200 music videos, released several documentary films, and built a body of work defined by emotional precision, cultural awareness, and cinematic integrity. Today, she is recognized for her ability to transform deeply personal experience into powerful visual storytelling - creating work that resonates far beyond the screen.
