Originally from Slovakia and now based in the UK, Nina first gained widespread attention after winning the Radio_Head Award for Newcomer of the Year in 2021 (curated by Slovak national radio) for her debut single ‘Blue Sunray’. A graduate of the prestigious BRIT School in London — whose alumni include Amy Winehouse and Adele — she released her debut EP Pandemonium to critical acclaim. The EP’s standout track, ‘Moonlight’, was named Song of the Day by KEXP Radio (US), and Nina was soon featured on BBC Radio 6 Music, Under the Radar, Louder Than War, and Electronic Sound.
In 2024, she released her debut album Gentle Autopsy, which was awarded Best Slovak Album of the Year and received a nomination at the Czech Anděl Awards, further solidifying her position in the music scene.
Nina has performed at iconic venues across Europe, including Hackney Church (London), Kino Šiška (Ljubljana), the Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts (Brighton), and Santeria (Milan). Her festival appearances include Eurosonic (Groningen), The Great Escape (Brighton), Waves Vienna, and the BUSH Festival (Budapest). In the summer of 2025, she will join Massive Attack on the main stage at Pohoda Festival in Slovakia, and perform at Fusion Festival (Germany) and Colours of Ostrava (Czech Republic).
Nina Kohout is a sonic storyteller who pushes the boundaries of musical obedience, forming a constant conversation between invasive horror and fragile purity. Her music intertwines the haunting ambiance of ancient Slovak folklore, classical elements, and dark electronica.
