Mizz Nina Album Launch ft Colby O'Donnis @ Zouk, Jln Ampang, KL (17/7)
Mizz Nina. the one-time member of AIM (Anugerah Industri Muzik) award-nominated MCs Teh Tarik Crew (TTC) has certainly come into her own since the group’s hiatus, and now she’s ready for her big comeback as a solo artist.
Swapping her adeptness in rap and rhyming for a new vocation in singing, Mizz Nina is set to unleash her much-anticipated debut artist album What You Waiting For on 17 July 2010. The album comes hot off the release of her single of the same name, which features a collaboration with American pop and R&B singer-songwriter and producer Colby O’Donis.
Fans of Colby would know that this Akon protégé was riding the charts with his hit ‘What You Got’ (featuring Akon) and is additionally a highly sought-after collaborator, featuring on Akon’s ‘Beautiful’ and Lady Gaga’s ‘Just Dance’–which earned a nominee for Best Dance Recording at the 50th Grammy Awards.
Released on 31 March 2010, Mizz Nina’s video for ‘What You Waiting For’–which was directed by Scott McCullough and shot in Los Angeles–has already exceeded 400,000 views on YouTube. The song has also been maintaining a steady spot on local music charts, including Carta Negara on XFM, The Freaky Fly 30 on Fly FM, theMET 10 on hitz.fm and the DiGi Top 20 on hitzTV.

“I’ve been getting a lot of positive feedback on my single,” says Mizz Nina on her official website at www.mizznina.com. “Thank you. Big love and shout outs to all the crew and DJs. I feel truly blessed and happy that I’m getting so much love and support.” Besides gaining much respect and recognition locally, Mizz Nina is also being shown big love abroad, with Cali radio station 102.3 KJLH in Los Angeles giving ‘What You Waiting For’ some top spins. Singing might be the latest foray in Mizz Nina’s colourful career, but she’s been known to dabble in other hobbies as well.
Besides being the Managing Director at The Singing Shop in AmCorp Mall PJ (www.thesingingshop.com), she’s held stints as a TV host, an emcee, a radio DJ and a model. In addition, she’s currently perfecting her new craft as a mix DJ, a skill she picked up from her TTC counterpart DJ Fuzz.
Following months of honing her technique, she’s since presided on the decks at fashion parties for Giuseppe Zanotti and local fashion biannual HANGER as well as dropped beats at Republic, Laundry Bar and the now-defunct Cloth & Clef as well as on a mini-tour in Taiwan.
Recorded in both Malaysia and Los Angeles, What You Waiting For has been over a year in the making. And now with the album done, Mizz Nina is geared up to launch an impressive new career as a solo artist and all-round entertainer. Working with a slew of producers, arrangers and composers from California, the Netherlands, Singapore and Malaysia, Mizz Nina co-wrote a bulk of the songs and also self-penned one track on the album (‘Never Leave You Behind’). Besides partnering up with Colby O’Donis, vocal collaborators featured on the album include MC Dandee from Bangkok’s Thaitanium Entertainment, Noh from Hujan, Mawar Berduri from Ahli Fiqir, Teeflii and Grammy nominee Planet Asia. Production credits include Uno and AJ of Pop Shuvit, D’Navigator, Noh from Hujan, DJ Fuzz, Koko and Syaheed of Bedsty Music, Sakke from the Netherlands and Koolade from Croatia.
The album contains 14 tracks–five of which are in the Malay language. But what the people really want to know is, for her first ever solo artist effort, does Mizz Nina stay true to her roots from TTC or has she evolved musically? “[The album has] got an electro hip hop feel to it. It’s not completely different from TTC’s groove because it’s still me but I do have to say that it sounds fresh and current, with a different kind of flow from what you’re used to hearing. It’s a reflection of my life experiences, very up close and personal,” she reveals in an interview with Gua.com.my.
In celebration of the release, long-time fans of Mizz Nina and those who are curious to see the unveiling of her new persona can catch her performing for the very first time in public at her album launch party. The launch will see Mizz Nina in full form onstage after months of rehearsing and prepping for her big debut. Watch for some slick dance moves and power routines by Mizz Nina and her dancers as well as a smashing show by special guest Colby O’Donis.
As a special treat, Mizz Nina will also exclusively premiere her youth fashion line at the launch. Taken after her own name, the Mizz Nina collection features casual and laidback pieces that reflect the designer’s own chilled out and easy-going sensibility. Expect to see a funky collection of T-shirts, tank tops and jeans on the runway worn by, not professional models, but regular teens.With all that’s in store, this is one album launch party not to be missed.
