www.nadinerisha.com - As though the Earth herself were singing Nadine intricately weaves a liquid-velvet tapestry of lyrics, melodies, and moods... which communicate a knowing and insight belying her youth. But more than just her unforgivably powerful vocals and an empathic songwriting prowess that grabs you by the heart and soul, Nadine emanates an aural magic, quite simply, like no one has ever known.
Nadine travels the world, exploring the far reaches of the planet, singing with every step in such extraordinary places such as Egypt, Lebanon, India and Peru.
Performing since the age of seven, Nadine has been exposed to a variety of forms of artistic expression. After years of study and attaining a Bachelor of Arts degree at UC Irvine, she moved to New York where she performed in and did the cast recording for Stephen Schwartz’s Off-Broadway show "Children of Eden" (RCA). She later performed at The Kennedy Center with artistic director Placido Domingo, in a production of “Paquito’s Christmas”. After returning to her home in California, Nadine became the lead vocalist in the Los Angeles based band Sketches of Ellis, with whom she released an original CD, produced by Sally Browder (Dwight Yoakam), and featuring guitarist Randy Jacobs (Iggy Pop, Elton John).
Along with continuous recording and performing projects in Los Angeles and abroad, she is regularly seen-heard-and felt performing at venues worldwide. Her newest CD "Sacred Om" is an hour long journey into the depths of the heart through sacred sounds and words. All of Nadine's CDs are available for purchase on this website & itunes.com.

It is fall in Berlin and the trees are sooooo beautiful. Red, yellows, oranges...giving me one last inward deep breath of color before the cold gray comes through. Winter and fall is my time for writing and recording... the inner worlds. I have a jazz CD which will be recording soon and another original album that I am working on just me and Steinway and my little red bird. Thanks so much for connecting. My space has changed me profoundly as I sense every day that we are more deeply connected than we can imagine - or perhaps we should imagine it more, and start relaxing. The world is a place full of hope and wonder.
To celebrate the feeling of the world getting to be a cozier and friendlier place, please accept my gift - a free download of my song DIFFERENT PLANES.
Where ever you are - create a special moment today.
