Nina Kohout

Nina Kohout is a sonic storyteller who pushes the boundaries of musical obedience, forming a constant conversation between an invasive horror and a fragile purity. In her music she intertwines the haunting ambiance of ancient Slovak folklore, classical music elements, and dark electronica.

In 2021, Slovakia-born, UK-based artist Nina Kohout won the Radio_Head award for the Newcomer of the Year (curated by the Slovak national radio), which she received for her debut single ‘Blue Sunray’. Her critically acclaimed debut EP Pandemonium (incl. the song ‘Moonlight’ featured as the Song of the Day by KEXP Radio) got Nina’s name mentioned in BBC Radio 6 Music and music magazines such as Under the Radar, Louder than War, and Electronic Sound magazine. Her past shows include playing at the iconic Kino Šiška in Ljubljana, Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts in Brighton, Santeria in Milan, Waves Vienna Festival, Liveurope Festival in Prague, as well as the biggest European showcase festival Eurosonic in the Netherlands.

In 2023, Nina Kohout unveiled two singles, including ‘Little Butterfly,’ which made its debut on BBC Radio 6 Music, offering a glimpse of what to expect from her debut album scheduled for release in 2024.
