Nikki Awesome & The Royal Society is a Canadian Electro-pop group from Toronto, Ontario, who released two hit singles with Warner Music Canada, through Die Mannequin's label How To Kill Records. Care Failure of Die Mannequin promoted NIkki Awesome (née Nikki Milovanovic) as her first official signee of the label and also featured the singer in the Die Mannequin video 'Saved By Strangers,' where Nikki Awesome appears momentarily as the grown-up version of the hula-hooping girl.

The group had three members — lead vocalist Nikki "Awesome" Milovanovic and featured hip-hop artists Christopher "Plus Mo" Wright and Ryan "Slink Breezy Esq" Reid — and performed both pop and hiphop, working with various other DJ's and producers. The band's logo - a razorblade featuring a heart cutout - became a prominent feature in their artwork and was the subject of some criticism due to its implied reference to drug use and cutting, which the singer denied, saying the artwork was about dangerous glamour.

In 2008 the group released the single You Say it was Supposed To Be, which used interpolation from the New Order song Bizarre Love Triangle in its chorus. Shortly after signing with Warner, one of the group's vocalists, Slink Breezy, witnessed the hijacking of the KITT car from the recently relaunched Knight Rider Series, in what was later revealed to be a publicity stunt. He posted the pictures and story on the group's Myspace page, and as a result, the band's page went viral for several hours as the story unfolded, generating tens of thousands of plays for the group who were still relatively unknown.

Following the receipt of a VIDEOFACT grant, The Royal Society released a video for the single directed by Davin Black, which cast the singer as a film noir femme fatale, and the other members of the group as detectives in pursuit. The video added in heavy rotation to Much Music and MuchMore Music in January, 2009, charting at number 7 in the Top 10, and was subsequently used for a Much More Music Station Ident also featuring Beyonce, Coldplay, The Killers and Ludacris. The track also charted in the top 10 for Canadian radio.

The group released a second single, titled All The Little Things and shot a second video with director Davin Black which filmed in Peter Gatien's CiRCA nightclub. Both the single and video lingered in the top 20 but did not lead to an album deal. The band released their own EP, The Nouveau Riche EP, which included early hits and crowd-pleasers 'Not So Much,' 'Freak Like Me' 'Nouveau Riche' and 'Roborotic'.

Following a tour supporting fellow Warner artist Flo Rida, Nikki Awesome attended the Much Music Video Awards alone, and the solo interview with Jesse Giddings live on Much Music’s VideoFlow in which she discussed her then side-project, DOLLS, avoiding talk of The Royal Society, Warner Music and the How To Kill label led to speculation about The Royal Society’s demise, and increased buzz about the artist’s solo efforts.

In March 2010, DOLLS (as Nikki Awesome) headlined a showcase for Canadian Music Week without the other members of The Royal Society, then spoke extensively in interviews about DOLLS, which she later launched in the United Kingdom as an independent artist, eventually releasing the self-produced SECRET SULK in January, 2013.
