Nina Hynes is currently producing an EP for Sonoton Music and thinking about a new solo show.

She created a soundtrack for the Art show 'These Hard Feelings' by Gary Farrelly and Gilles Hellemans at Brasserie Atlas, Brussels(Jan 2026)

Nina wrote, directed and performed in 'I am the machine', a sci-fi dystopian folk opera, with a cast of 13, including dancers, musicians and actors. It premiered December 2024 in the respected dance venue, Dock 11, Berlin to four sold-out shows and standing ovations. It was too expensive to tour, so she put it on the long finger or let it be just that......... and started creating again.

Nina has been releasing records and playing boutique shows independently since 1999.

Her last two albums were successfully crowd-funded. While primarily a musician and sound maker, she is an artist who is comfortable working in different art forms.

Although she played all of the instruments, self-recorded and mixed her recent releases(2018-2023), collaboration remains a large part of her works.

She thrives in experimentation and crossing genres from the art, film, dance and theatre worlds. She has a diploma in Sound Engineering and Music Technology, which she undertook in 2003 to give herself independence and creative freedom.

She has played extensively in the US and in Europe and supported many well-known acts including Roxy Music, Stereolab,

Harold Budd, Hector Zazou, Terry Callier,

Glen Hansard, Damien Rice, Julee Cruise, Smog, David Gray, Joan as a Police Woman.

Before her career in music, she studied the Lee Strasberg and Stanislavski method with legendary American Theatre Director and actress Deirdre O’Connell at The Focus Theatre, Dublin.

She is currently making a documentary with Irish cinematographer Neil Dowling(BBC).

She is a qualified python developer and recently qualified as a hypnotherapist.

Nina recently moved to Brussels after 18 years of living in Berlin with her two kids.

She is working on a new musical theatre solo show and is also a practicing hypnotherapist.
