Nina first stamped her mark on the musical map when she scooped a No.4 iTunes chart hit. Nominations followed for Best Female Artist on both sides of the Atlantic (2014’s Best of British Music Awards and Best Female Vocal Artist in the Hollywood Music in Media Awards 2014), as did vocals alongside Emma Bunton on the national ad campaign for the Channel 5 show ‘Don’t Stop Believing’, live appearances at the Montreux Jazz Festival (sharing the bill with the likes of The Black Eyed Peas, Jeff Beck, Gnarls Barkley and Lily Allen), an enviable dance-floor following with her featured vocals on Aurosonic & Frainbreeze’s ‘Lift You Up’ track and being head-hunted by Dutch pop/RnB super band, Romeo, to join them on their sell out come-back show. Added to which, she co-wrote and co-worked with Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe winners and nominees with a striking list of names such as Morrisey’s Richard Niles, Gabrielle Aplin’s Tom Wilding, Usher’s Angelo Valentino and Orbital’s Lloyd Perrin. Nina was chosen as the anthem for World Voice Day 2016 and her debut album ‘Shapes’ was received last summer to high critical acclaim.
Now the multi-talented performer joins forces with Yamaha Music London to lead music lovers through the wonderful experience of Learn To Play Day.

‘Beat Another Rhythm’ is an upbeat pop track bursting with confidence and musical vibrancy. Written by Nina Schofield specifically for Learn to Play Day, the song layers Nina’s divine vocals across tiers of drums, keyboards and strings, demonstrating how instrumentation on a song can change its shape and dimension. The track is a depiction of musical liberation, how music can help you break free from whatever ties you down, using the beat to help you find a new direction.
