Indigo was born Alyssa Ashley Nichols in 1984, in Los Angeles, CA. Coming from an artistic family, she was exposed early on to various facets of the arts and attributes much of her interests in them to this. She booked her first commercial for Armour Hot Dog at age 5, and spent the next several years doing various student films and industrials, while simultaneously building up a reputation among casting directors in the industry. At age 10 she booked her first film role, playing opposite 'Louis Gossett Jr.', in the Showtime film, Zooman (1995); adapted from the play "Zooman and the Sign".

In honor of her acceptance into this program, she was also made a recipient of the Governor's Medallion award. She auditioned and was accepted to the Los Angeles County High School of the Arts, (LACHSA), her junior year. It was during this time that she also decided to change her name to Indigo.
