NINA (born Nina Boldt, now Nina Blair) is a German singer-songwriter and one of the defining voices of modern synthwave. Her sound blends neon-lit 80s nostalgia with contemporary electronic pop and rock, built on lush analog synths, cinematic atmospheres, and haunting, emotive vocals. She rose to prominence in the 2010s with songs such as “My Mistake” — featured in a Mercedes-Benz TV campaign across Europe — and “We Are the Wild Ones,” followed by her acclaimed debut album Sleepwalking (2018). Select releases in her catalog have appeared via Lakeshore Records and Italians Do It Better, reflecting key moments in an independently driven career. NINA has collaborated across generations, including Kim Wilde, Ricky Wilde (with whom she released the album Scala Hearts), and producer Richard X (Goldfrapp, M.I.A., Sugababes). She also recorded “I’ll Wait,” written specifically for the horror film There’s No Such Thing as Vampires, and has recorded at London’s legendary Metropolis Studios. In 2026, she releases a double album with electronic-rock artist Radio Wolf, marking a bold new chapter. Live, she has toured internationally and opened for Erasure, Cannons, and Johnny Jewel. Often dubbed the “Queen of Synthwave,” NINA continues to create timeless, emotionally charged music for late-night worlds.
