Golden State Music

Introduction: Biography Nina Deering is an organist, pianist, and vocalist who is broadly stitched into the vast San Diego sonic fabric. Nina has an extensive list of musical performance experiences which includes sacred, experimental, jazz, rock, extended pop and classical; and it is not just from the 1600s to the 1850s. Nina is recognized as a concert pianist who embraces repertoire from the postromantic movement through the living and breathing contemporary, with an almost religious passion for the symbolists and "impressionists." She has performed in well-known San Diego venues including Dizzy’s, Spreckles Theatre, 98 Bottles, the Loft, and various local colleges. Nina has also worked as a musical director and pit keyboardist for the City Ballet, Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church, and Christian Youth Theater. Additionally, she has been employed by the Rancho Bernardo Winery as regular jazz vocalist. Nina began studying piano at the age of four and has since been recognized not only for her skills as a pianist but also for her abilities as a vocalist, music educator, and musical director. Nina received her bachelor's of music degree in piano performance whilst expanding her performance scope outside college walls as a vocalist and director. The joy of musical direction lead her to acquiring positions with several large choirs and musical theatre productions over the last four years, until recently imparting on a 1 1/2 year break to focus on composition and recording. She is ambitious in aiming to release three albums over the next 18 months, and she expresses graciousness to have this time to restore artistic notions from the past and focus her creative energies. She is currently teaching piano, voice, and accordion privately at her home studio in North Park and her business in 4S Ranch. On any given day, you may hear her voice on the single "Walled Garden" by Nathan Hubbard on KSDFM.
