Katrinna Biography, Nigerian Pop singer At the age of 15, Nkiru Katherine Nnanwubar suddenly woke up from her siesta and exclaimed in her heart, âI am going to be a star!â no one knew, including her, that that dream will take a while, lots of hard work, disappointments, elation, hibernation and prayers to achieve. Music and singing had always been a dominant feature and talent in the Nnanwubar family while growing up and it was inevitable that one or more of the siblings will take the further step to sing commercially/professionally. To that end, loads of songs began to be on paper and as soon as she was in the higher institution studying for her diploma, she began trying out her compatibility with recording studios. âIf you were looking for any singer that could stress her producer then, call me!â says Katrinna. âI was shy, would sing off key, will make mistakes, will be scared of correcting errors,â she remembers, chuckling. Since then though, she has come a long way and worked with several talented and patient people who have helped her be a better singer and performer and like she says, âyou canât beat good advice that is taken any dayâ. In 2010, Katrinna was introduced to the Nigerian music industry. âI have not worked with the biggest and most popular names in the industry, but with the few I have been fortunate to work with, I can tell you that Nigeria is bursting with talentâ, she says. Katrinna is very passionate about music and though she has found it challenging to carve a noticeable niche in the industry, she has averred never to give up because, âI believe I can make a difference with my talent in so many ways, both artistically and humanitarianly. Give Katrinna a piece of paper and pen and if you are feeling generous, you can throw in a beat and a song materializes. The talented song writer has never seemed to have a problem with song writing and says, âGod must be my inspiration because he is the only One whose gifts are so effortlessâ. Other conditions and situations have also been an inspiration to her and it appears the artiste can write about anything. Katrinna hails from the eastern region of Nigeria and says her family has been a major source of support along the way. From a large extended family, she has 4 brothers and 6 sisters with a lot of cousins, aunts and uncles. She speaks Ibo and English fluentlyâ¦. âThough, I would love to speak Hausa!â Presently working hard to promote and develop her music, the singer who has worked in different professional environments admits to having learned a lot in her years of experience and is very interested in combating little injustices and also in providing little labour for the homeless. âSometimes, we concentrate on the very big issues, and the little ones go unnoticedâ With a reserved nature, explosive stage act and laughing personality, Katrinna makes us remember all the things we love about artistes and is definitely set for a promising career in the entertainment industry.
