A biography for Nina Nesbitthasn’t been written yet.
“If people really like your music but you're not selling so many records, I don't think it really matters.”
“It's always weird when people come out to see you because everything's mostly online now.”
“I've learned a lot about being in control of your career - and that being positive and believing in yourself goes a very long way. And creatively, the music needs to sound like it's come from you, not someone else who's choosing the songs for you.”
“Well, there's this culture on Instagram where everyone uses filters and lighting, or people smooth their skin out. It's this weird thing. We all know it's not real and we all complain about it, yet we all do it.”
“When I wrote my debut album I was around 17, I didn't really know what my sound was or who I was and what I wanted.”
“So what comes naturally to me is writing lyrics and writing songs and telling stories.”
“My tenth-ever gig was in an arena, which is mad... I remember being backstage with multiple artists there and someone had had their teeth done - like veneers - and I come from a very small village where people are lucky to even have all their teeth.”
“I've spent a lot of time in Inverness, playing gigs and on a radio tour. I like heading up there because it is very tranquil and a contrast to how busy London is.”
“I picked up the guitar at 15 because of Taylor Swift.”
“But shows like 'The X Factor' are a great showcase but people are not taking it for real music.”
“The worst quality in a man is a really big ego - that would turn me off.”
“I feel like in our society there is definitely still a lot of underlying sexism. It's funny how many guys are surprised when you pick up an instrument in the studio, or write your own songs.”
“I listened to a lot of female pop music growing up. I started to realize that there were women out there wanting to stay something, playing instruments and writing their own songs.”
“I think everyone goes through it in university, figuring out whether or not they're doing the right course. I guess I'm the same, but in music.”
“I have a song coming with blackbear. He's a huge artist, I would say in the dark-pop scene. He has also collaborated with a lot of hip-hop artists. He's huge on Spotify.”
“From past experience I wouldn't go out with another musician. With song writing people can be a bit sensitive. Something completely different, like a lawyer, would be good.”
“Working with other people, it's hard to get them to make it sound like what you have in mind.”
“Sometimes I fall out of love with what I'm doing, but only for about a week. Once it's over I'm back to thinking it's the best job in the world again. But every job has it's ups and downs.”
“A song like 'Loyal To Me,' for example, I originally wrote that for a girl band in mind, that's why it has so many harmonies and it's got that sort of '90s/R&B feel to it.”
“So I just sat in bed for six months - I literally didn't leave the house - and it was the first time that I'd actually experienced being depressed. I'd be sad on and off but I'd never experienced actual depression. Like, crying for no reason. It was really horrible.”
