What to expect

Clients can expect a highly professional and personalized experience from first inquiry to final note. Nino consults on repertoire to fit the tone and setting of each event, offers guidance on language and arrangement choices, and arrives fully prepared with scores, cues, and any necessary accompaniment materials.

About

Internationally trained vocalist and composer with a deep classical foundation and over a decade of professional performance experience. I hold a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance and Jazz Studies and have trained with acclaimed conductors and coaches across Europe and the U.S. My solo work spans sacred repertoire, art song, and oratorio, alongside an active career as a songwriter and Recording Academy voting member.

Recent highlights include winning Best International Act (Chicago Reader 2024) and Best Singer-Songwriter (2022), performing at leading cultural institutions and concert halls, and creating immersive audio projects recognized within the Dolby Atmos community. I bring exceptional musicality, refined diction, and the versatility to interpret both time-honored liturgical works and bespoke contemporary commissions.

Whether curating music for a sacred ceremony, black-tie gala, memorial of distinction, or concert hall debut, I deliver a seamless, elevated experience - concierge-level communication, bespoke repertoire curation, and a voice praised for its radiant, expressive presence and commanding yet intimate artistry.
