Nadine States performs at The Confluence as part of Calgary International Blues Festival

Nadine was born in Toronto, Ontario Canada.

Her introduction to the “stage” was at the young age of four when , Mr. Henry Mancini invited the little four year old girl onto the stage, (the fire was lit) this was when her family lived on the Army Base in Calgary Alberta.

Moving with her mother to B.C. (New Westminster) was the step towards her journey into dance, singing and entertainment.

She has done background vocals for numerous artists starting at 9 to now.

Nadine is a song writer, composer and singer extraordinaire. She was born to share her gift of music with the world.

Nadine was a part of the VOC (Vancouver Open Choir) that sang with Celine Dion and performed for the late Dr. Maya Angelou .

Nadine was also a background singer for a couple of Michael Buble’ live concerts.

Her first band was a top 40’s cover band Det-A-Nation aka YTT (Yesterday,Today,Tomorrow) that band opened the doors for Vancouver bands to perform overseas.

Her first experience singing overseas was in Bangkok, Thailand & oh boy what an amazing experience it was. She’s also done a European tour in Germany, Hungary, Austria, and so on.

Nadine , not only did she sing top 40 songs, she also sings The Blues, Gospel, Rock , Funk & Soul, Swing and a little bit of Jazz too.

She’s on countless albums putting her flavour into the mix.

Hearing Nadine sing and watching her perform will definitely touch your Soul and resonate in your heart.

Music is the passion that fuels this incredible lady.

She loves sharing her gift, the  love, passion and joy with everyone and anyone.

She’s had the pleasure of meeting so many musicians from different corners of the world (Prince) being one of her ultimate lifetime memories, she still has the rose he gave her after chatting with him when she lived in California.

Nadine is still performing and doing what she loves. You can see and hear her with The Incognito Band around town (Vancouver) .

One of Nadine’s dreams is to perform @ Ronnie Scott’s in London, who knows what the future holds for us. Dreams never die as long as you don’t give up.

Keep your head up, carry on & make it happen.
