Nina Harries

Trained in classical music at the Royal College of Music, London, Nina Harries is a soloist who uses only her double bass and renowned singing voice to create ground-breaking performances.

Her original songs take influence from cabaret, Bjork, Mogwai, opera, Andrew Bird, Mitski and Joanna Newsom, and her work unapologetically dismantles worldwide preconceptions about the double bass as an instrument, the roles of women in performance and the idea of what a modern musician should be.

In 2017 she was awarded a grant by PRS Women Make Music Fund to record her debut album, which will be released later on in 2018. Along with breaking new ground with her instrument Nina is also a feminist writer and comedian, incorporating this into her performances.

In 2017 Nina joined the Akram Khan Company, to perform as Double Bassist and Vocalist in Akram Khan's critically acclaimed final solo performance, XENOS, which is touring internationally for 2018 and 2019.
