Creating a space for truth

Born and raised in the heart of the Alps of Southtyrol (Italy), Nina’s interest in music sparked relatively late: after trying some choir singing at the age of 12, followed by an attempt on the piano, she switched to take proper singing lessons in her hometown, Merano.

However, one day, at the age of 16, came the decisive moment: she decided to learn the guitar – which happened out of complete boredom – and to go busking on the streets near her house to see if some tourists would toss some coins in her hat. Since then, she has been writing her own songs and, up until today, continues to perform in pubs, local bars, and festivals in South Tyrol, as well as on the streets of Merano, where she is known for her energetic and passionate performances, raw authenticity, revolutionary spirit, and her trademark, the bandana.

In March 2024 she released her debut Album  “Bandana Revolution” , a record infused with the distinctive vintage vibes of the ’70s. However, with her latest singles (2025)  My Rules,  Unapologetic  and  New Life, Nina steps into a grittier, more defiant chapter, fusing punk ethos, rock and vintage influences with modern pop flair.

In 2025, she also appeared on  X Factor Italia, performing with her acoustic guitar and earning widespread attention for her outstanding rendition of Gianna Nannini’s  Latin Lover, which received four unanimous “yes” votes from the judges.

Nina finds inspiration in anything related to her soul-searching journey she has been through in the last 9 years:

“I have felt lost, broken, and wrong for who I am for a very long time, mainly because of the toxic relationship I was in during my early twenties. Even though I still feel the repercussions to this day, I can also see the strength I gained from it and my devotion to giving truth the space to be what it is. I lost my truth during those years and got to know the pain of not knowing who I am, of not being able to trust my inner voice when someone made me believe it was wrong. My music is here to give truth the space to be what it is, and it is my biggest wish that it can help people who have been through similar experiences as I have, so that we can all heal together and be at peace with ourselves by being who we truly are.”

Besides being a musician, she is also known for her endeavours in vegan activism and when it comes to fighting for animal rights.

 After having adopted a vegan lifestyle in 2019, she decided to release her thought-provoking song  “Denk Driber Noch”  (literally translated from Southtyrolean Dialect: “Think About It”) two years after in 2021, with the intention to directly speak to her local audience. She wants to make people reflect on their consumer habits and how non-human animals are viewed and treated in society, by reminding them that the power to change lays in the hands of each individual. In 2022 and 2023, she was one of the two main organizers and founders of the first vegan festival in South Tyrol called “Meran Vegan.”  see more pictures
