Nadine Axisa is an established versatile singer, with a passion for smooth jazz, latin, swing and soul music. She received vocal training in classical singing at a young age and discovered her love for jazz music through the performance in clubs and bars in her late teens. Nadine studied jazz classics, attended and followed a number of workshops with acclaimed tutors including Tina May, Iain Mackenzie, Guillermo Rozenthuler, Donna Mc Elroy, Dennis Montgomery III and Anne Peckham. She later pursued her studies at the Malta School of Music with Joe Debono.  

Nadine released her debut album 'Velvet' in 2014 featuring twelve original tracks, mostly composed by Maltese composers and authors in the smooth jazz style. The album also involves a collaboration with two musicians from Germany and Italy. The album received favourable reviews including a four-star review on the UK's Jazz Journal. Moreover, it was featured on Maltese and international radios; the latter include www.virginiamusic.eu  'Mainly jazz' on Alive 107.3fm (UK); RTP Play (PT) and Channel Radio (UK). She was also interviewed and performed live on Jazz FM (UK). In March 2016, Nadine performed 'Velvet in concert' in collaboration with a quartet consisting of local musicians. 

In December 2019 she released her second album, “Il-Ħoss tal-Għabex”, which involves the reworking of Maltese tunes, most of which were published in the 1970s and 80s. The tunes were taken through a process of re-imagination, a journey involving experimentation from a melodic, harmonic, rhythmic and sonic perspective. The album received several favourable reviews whilst being awarded best album in Maltese in the Malta Music Awards 2020.

Since September 2021 she is presenting a jazz radio show on Radju Malta 93.7fm, Malta’s national radio station, with the name ‘Nadine’s Jazz Boutique’. The show is also available online as a Podcast. She performs regularly in local jazz venues and has also performed outside Malta in numerous jazz events and festivals, including Poland, Bulgaria, Italy, Berlin, Frankfurt, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Austria and Egypt.
