Nina Katrin Kaiser (born 14 October 1998), known professionally as Nina Chuba, is a German singer and actress.[2] She was born in Wedel, Schleswig-Holstein and rose to prominence in 2022 with her single "Wildberry Lillet", reaching number one on both the Austrian and German charts.[3][4]

At the age of seven, she began her acting career in the children's television series Die Pfefferkörner.[5] Following a move to Berlin in 2018, Chuba began releasing music, with the English-language EPs Power and Average. In October 2021, she released her first German-language single "Neben mir".[6] Her debut album Glas was released on 24 February 2023.[7] It reached sixth place in the global album debut charts on Spotify and topped the album charts of Germany and Austria.[8][9][10] Following a 13-month hiatus, she returned with the self-titled single "Nina" on 12 April 2024.[11]

Career[edit]

2018–2021: Power and Average[edit]

Following a move to Berlin in 2018, Nina Chuba began to release music. Initially performing in English, she expressed her reluctance to sing in German as "everything sounds cheesy more quickly", whereas in English, "you can have whack lyrics and a nice melody, and it's fine".[6] Her first single "White Shirt" was released in July 2019, and was followed by a further five singles over the next year. These six singles were released as the Power extended play on 31 July 2020.[12]

On 27 November 2020, Chuba released the single "Babylon Fall", her first since Power. The track saw her leaning further into a hip hop sound.[13] It was included on the Average EP, released on 4 June 2021.[14]

2021–present: Glas[edit]

On 1 October 2021, Nina Chuba released her first German-language single, "Neben mir" about a toxic love affair.[15] On 12 August 2022, Chuba released the single "Wildberry Lillet". On the track, she raps about her desire to get rich and gain further commercial success.[16] The song quickly achieved virality on TikTok.[6] Debuting at number two in Germany, the song became her first single to chart in her home country. The following week, it rose to number one, where it would spend four non-consecutive weeks.[3] A remix was released of the song with rapper Juji, for which a music video was released on 16 September 2022.[17] The singles "Ich hass dich", "Glatteis" and "Mangos mit Chili" were also released in promotion of her debut studio album Glas, released via Jive Records on 24 February 2023.[18] The album topped the charts in Germany and Austria, and was certified gold in Germany for shipments exceeding 300,000 copies.[9][10][19]

Following the release of Glas, Chuba took a 13-month break, before releasing the self-titled single "Nina" on 12 April 2024.[11] In April and May 2024, she embarked on the Glas Tour, with 16 sold-out arena dates in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.[20] On 24 May 2024, she released the single "80qm". A music video for the track was released on the same day. It is a break-up song, with the title referring to her reclamation of the 80 square metres of apartment space she previously shared with her partner.[21] In late 2025, she will embark on a stadium tour with dates in Germany and Switzerland.[20]
