Music Career
In 2015, Nia released her first pop single entitled, "Star in Your Own Life" under the instruction of Aubrey O'Day. Shortly after the release of the single, she released a music video for the song. There was negative criticism regarding the video. Many thought that the video was too raunchy for a 13-year-old. Abby Lee Miller, Nia's dance teacher, commented that the video had nothing to do with the song and was inappropriate.
