Hansen Nichols

Who is Hansen Nichols?

Hansen Fernandez Nichols also known as Sen was born and raised in California, USA to an American father and a Filipino mother. He graduated from the University of San Francisco with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Economics. As a child, he really wanted to be a singer. This dream started away back when he was a small boy watching his mom sing at parties. With a Fil-Am-Spanish-Irish descent, Hansen is no stranger to the Filipino culture and entertainment industry. His idols, to name a few, include Martin Nievera, Ariel Rivera, and Gary Valenciano.

Hansen and his mom escaped serious injury when they encountered a car accident while driving on the freeway in Sacramento, California in 2001 but unfortunately, he was diagnosed with papillary carcinoma, otherwise known as thyroid cancer and was advised to undergo an immediate thyroidectomy - a process which involves removing the entire thyroid gland.

Unsure if he will be able to sing again, Hansen postponed his surgery to give way to his last performance, which happened to be with his church choir.

Hansen managed to utter a few words as he regained consciousness right after his operation.
