Nicolette Robinson grew up surrounded by the arts. With her father working as a director and her mother a choreographer, she explained in an interview with her alma mater, UCLA, "I grew up leaning against the mirrors in rehearsal rooms watching my mom work. It was around me all the time and performing just was something I've loved so much from an early age." After booking a small part in Cold Case as a teenager, Robinson began considering acting as a full-time career. 

She subsequently attended UCLA's School of Theater, Film & Television, enthusing, "I loved learning about the arts, whether it was performance or voice or diving into a certain character's world." Her Broadway debut came in Waitress, in 2018. Robinson made history as the first woman of color cast in the role, gushing to Her Campus, "it's such a meaningful story so when it's told through my eyes I bring a different experience to it than what other women would bring to it."
