Nina Chuba is the stage name of Nina Katrin Kaiser, born in 1998 in Wedel, just outside Hamburg, Germany. Before music she was a child actor: from 2008 she played Nina Flynn, the youngest of the teen detectives in the long-running kids' series Die Pfefferkörner. She sang in the band Blizz and put out early solo tracks in English, collected on the 2020 EP Power.
Switching to German changed everything. "Wildberry Lillet" (2022), a deadpan wish list of luxuries, went to number one in Germany. Her debut album Glas (2023) also topped the charts and gave her more Top Ten hits with "Ich hass dich" and "Mangos mit Chilli". Her style mixes pop with rap delivery and a cool, slightly bored attitude that makes even her brag songs sound funny.
