Catch our exclusive interview with Nina Williams of FL/MD below:

As I sat down with Nina Williams, the vibrancy of her personality instantly filled the virtual distance. An independent recording artist with a resonant voice, Nina is no stranger to the music industry. Born into a musically inclined family, she has been singing since her childhood days, her voice echoing through the corners of her home while she sang to her dolls.

“What’s fascinating,” Nina said, with her eyes sparkling with passion, “is how music is in my DNA. The Williams family in Sarasota – they are music.”

Growing up, her ears were filled with the unique sounds of Anita Baker, Tina Turner, and other music greats. She fondly recalls how these powerful women filled her with inspiration, their unique voices shaping her own style.

Her first taste of a recording studio came at the tender age of twelve. “Once they found out I could sing, I was in everything,” she shared, her voice filled with nostalgia. From that point on, Nina found herself seizing every opportunity to perform, even getting the chance to showcase her talent on the news in Sarasota.

In her music journey, Nina has learned the importance of authenticity. “Never try to be somebody you’re not,” she emphasised, “you have to be authentic.” She believes that in a world where many artists try to mimic others, it’s vital to stay true to one’s own sound.

Her recent single, “I’m Tired,” is a testament to this authentic approach. The song, filled with raw emotions, was inspired by her past experiences and feelings. “When you listen to ‘I’m Tired,’ you hear the pain, the sadness, the anger, the anxiousness. You hear it,” she said, highlighting the depth of emotion encapsulated in the song.

In the coming months, Nina plans to venture into doing cover songs, a nod to the artists who have influenced her. “I want to show who influenced me,” she said with determination. But rest assured, Nina fans, she will be adding her unique touch to these covers, ensuring that while the song may be familiar, the voice is unmistakably Nina’s.

Nina’s journey is a testament to the power of authenticity and hard work. As we wrapped up our conversation, it was clear that this is just the beginning for Nina Williams. With her passion for music and her commitment to her craft, there’s no doubt that Nina is a name we will be hearing for many years to come.
