A biography for Nina Nesbitthasn’t been written yet.
“I absolutely love collaborating with other people, but I think it's so important to always be able to rely on yourself because there are ups and downs in this industry.”
“People are pretty normal in Scotland, I've had a few crazy fan experiences elsewhere.”
“London seems to be one step ahead of everywhere else which I like because you see things first. It's where British fashion is developed and there are so many little vintage shops and boutiques; there are always loads on offer.”
“I feel like there's a lot of albums that are like 'woo! we're young, let's have fun' and there's a lot of albums that are abstract, with mature lyrics.”
“I came from a really small village outside Edinburgh in Scotland and had quite a sheltered upbringing.”
“Stay Out' is about all the stereotypes of people you meet out and about.”
“For a date, I'd like to do something different to drinks or dinner - like walking around Camden for a day in the sun, or something weird, like skydiving. Then at least if you don't get on you've had fun.”
“Working with other artists and writers over the past couple years has really given me a clear idea of my strengths and weaknesses and what is unique about me as an artist. I figured it's my storytelling lyrics, falsetto range and tone of voice, so I write songs to utilize those.”
“I was thrust into the spotlight and didn't really know what I was doing. The opportunity was amazing but I wasn't ready for any of it.”
“I think when I started my first album, I was 17 or 18, so I guess I was basically a child.”
“I do loads of pitch writing as well, where you write a pop song and then pitch it to DJs who can then work with the song, and sometimes they keep your vocal on it. It's just good to be involved in different things.”
“I think Taylor Swift, in the days when she was kind of doing more country style, definitely was a big inspiration for me.”
“I try to create a style that reflects my music. So I would say it's definitely got some '90s elements, some pop elements that are a bit more feminine, and then more indie, androdgynous elements.”
“I won't write every one of my personal experiences into songs as I think it could be a bit depressing - and its nice to not be too open.”
“Sadly, people assume that I am happy because I am so skinny.”
“As an introvert, you have to spend a lot of time with me and then little bits of my personality will come out over time. But as an artist, sometimes you only get five minutes to impress someone, so it is kind of hard.”
“I've learned not turning things up to full volume is a good idea. Also, because I have the freedom, sometimes when I'm writing a song I'll get carried away with production when I'm only on the first verse, and that sacrifices the songwriting.”
“I only tend to use YouTube for learning difficult guitar things or music videos. I tend to just walk around London and take it all in; there are so many fashionable people.”
“When I got dropped, no one really wanted to work with me... I felt like my career was over and I didn't really know what to do.”
“But I think as you grow up, you realise that actually, if you want to dress sexy there's nothing wrong with that - it's your prerogative as a woman to dress however you want.”
