Nina?s presence on the stage and on record is truly unforgettable. Her powerful, yet sultry vocals have been compared to Janis Joplin, Chakka Kahn, Tory Amos, Whitney Houston, and Billie Holiday. Yet Nina?s eclectic soulful style is one that identifies her as genuine talent like no other.
Nina then began to open for many nationally acclaimed artists such as Etta James, Earth Wind and Fire, Keb Mo?, The Allman Brothers, Los Lobos, Joan Osborne and John Lee Hooker.
In the beginning of 1997, Nina sang back-up vocals with INXS for VH-1. Nina then released the CD, ?Shades? and since its release Nina has performed in major festivals around the country including Lilith Fair, Woodstock ?99, Santa Cruz Blues Festival, Montreal International Jazz Festival, and The New Orleans Jazz Festival, where she was selected as one of the ten best acts of the festival.
Nina has also sung the National Anthem for sports teams across the country such as the Chicago Bulls, the Denver Broncos, including Monday Night Football and the AFC Championship game. She also performed for an audience of 250,000 during the Denver Bronco's Super Bowl Celebration.
In the winter of 1999 Nina toured with Jonny Lang where she was greatly received. She was then featured on CNN Showbiz Today, MTV Online and Rolling Stone Online. Two of Colorado?s largest publications, The Westword and 5280 Magazine also awarded Nina as the top vocalist in the state.
