Nina is a jazz singer with “A voice like a bird. A bird in the dark lit by the moon.” 

She offers up atmospheric moods and artful emotional exploration. Through songs heavy with nature metaphor Nina threads between the shifting lines of light and dark, hope and melancholy. Share in an evening of connection and intimacy and a love of what it is to be human. 

Nina takes inspiration from a variety of music genres enjoying alternative/art pop, electronica, jazz, folk and classical. Her influences include Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Norma Winstone, Beth Gibbons and Sophie Hunger. Along with ethereal/dream pop and trip hop such as Cocteau Twins and Massive Attack.

So come along and enjoy a pared down relaxed approach as Nina delivers known and less well known Jazz standards such as Round Midnight, Skylark, A Timeless Place, I’m a Fool to Want You and Nature Boy. 

With storytelling at the forefront Nina sings with a purity of sound and a touch of folk. Her music comes with a sense of freedom, longing, and release. It’s also clear that Nina draws on the nature of the island in the original lyrics she writes and performs to jazz instrumentals. Expect a less than traditional approach to jazz and a jazz approach to contemporary songs.
