Endorse Nina Karle
check_circleVerifiedIt was great working with Nina. Easy to flow with and has great musical sensibilities. The harmonies she provided for my song turned out beautifully, she has a lot of character in her voice and I highly recommend her !
check_circleVerifiedI've used Nina a few times now, each time with a little different flavor and she always manages to adapt to the style, and always write and creates parts and harmonies that take the song to the next level. This project was outside her normal genre, and not only did she adapt, but she crafted the perfect harmony parts. Always a pleasure to work with.

Nina has a great voice and is a pleasure to deal with. Her experience as a Jazz singer gives her the ability to come up with great harmonies, i recommend working with her 100%

I've had a project unfinished for over a year where I needed authentic background vocals for a single song. It's a part I haven't been able to fill, even with contacts and plenty of access to Nashville, L.A & NYC talent. I just couldn't find anyone that fit.. Until Nina. She didn't just sing background vocals, she created a background vocal arrangement that made the song soar. 10/10.. On time, clear communication and pleasant to deal with. 100% has my endorsement!
check_circleVerifiedMy 2nd review as I HAD to get Nina to do more to the song that we worked on. She is a fantastic & mature talent. She knows exactly how to deliver harmonies. Definitely one of the top artists to utilize for your reggae productions!
- check_circleVerified
Nina has a wonderful voice and gave me more than what I expected!
check_circleVerifiedWhat so say about Nina? she's just super professional, the communication was the best I had here on SoundBetter, she is very reactive and sended me before a demo of the harmonies before recording. She took my song seriously and that's really pleasant. That was really an honor, and if you want harmonies for a reggae song, and give that iconic sound that's the place to be.
thank you
