In 2008, she was one of the artists featured on the album "Eqqissineq" (Peace) which sold over 6,500 copies in Greenland in 2009, winning "gold" status. She toured in Greenland and Denmark in 2008 and 2009. The following year, she was the lead singer in Julie Berthelsen's choir, appearing on TV2's "Allstars".
In addition to her singing career, Nina works as a teacher at the Nuuk international school, where she also teaches music. She considers teaching her vocation: "It means so much to me to communicate music to the children. To see them develop, gain confidence and begin to perform."
