WHO IS SHE?
About Nina
Pittsburgh native Nina Sainato grew up in a deeply musical Italian-American household where the Great American Songbook was a constant presence. Many of her earliest memories are set to the sound of jazz standards played on the piano by her mother – a pianist whose interpretations of Cole Porter, George Gershwin, and Irving Berlin filled the home.
A performer since the age of six, Nina began her formal musical training as a classical pianist, quickly demonstrating exceptional ability as both a performer and composer. As a child, she earned multiple state and regional titles in NFMC composition competitions and was selected to attend The Governor’s School for the Performing Arts at the age of sixteen.
Nina went on to study classical piano performance at NYU, later transferring to Duquesne University’s Sound Recording program, where she immersed herself in recording arts, songwriting, and contemporary performance. During this time, she became an active part of Pittsburgh’s music scene, expanding her work from classical piano into pop, rock, and vocal performance.
Today, Nina performs nationally as a versatile and expressive vocalist. A Certified Master Trainer of Estill Voice Method, she embodies technique and artistry, along with natural warmth that creates an immediate connection with audiences.
With Sainato Does Sinatra, Nina honors the timeless elegance of the Great American Songbook through a modern, refined interpretation of songs that have endured for generations.
