Nina Curri is an outstanding artist of East Indian and Italian descent. Born in Florida & raised in Phoenix, Az. Her musical roots come from her mother who performed as a folk musician during the early 60's in Greenwich Village and her father who enjoys listening to and performing east indian music. After years of performing as a blues singer, Nina has developed the ability to meld songbird-like vocals with a powerhouse blues range. Her music showcases an authentic blues & jazz sound. She performs a repertoire of roots blues, R&B, jazz, folk and original songs. Living in Texas for several years allowed her to cut her teeth in cities rich in music and diverse in talent. Houstons eclectic venues, blues history and 6th street in Austin gave her opportunities to develop as a well-rounded artist. She has had the opportunity to share the stage with many talented & legendary artists such as Chico Chism, Milton Hopkins (cousin of Lightnin' Hopkins), Jim Talbot and Delbert McClinton. She was awarded 'Top Traditional Artist' by The Phoenix Blues Society in '99 and has recorded as guest vocalist on Dean Murphy's 'Love these Blues' and Shelby James' 'Downs on Ninth' discs. Nina is a graduate of Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Arizona where she performed in a community organized rendition of the Broadway musical, 'HAIR'. She has training in dance, music and stage performance. Currenty, Nina is performing in the Phoenix area as a solo or duo ensemble.
