The time before: Nina grew up In Karlskoga, Vдrmland, in the middle south of Sweden. Her family often got together with other families, and there were a lot of festivals, so they would get together and sing.
She does not think she is especially trained in vocals. She took a couple of lessons, but the teacher that she took the singing lessons from, thought that in order to sing properly you had to sing really loud, and this was hard for Nina. She just sing naturally, how she think it should be done. Maybe that’s why people like it, because she do sing so naturally!.
When Nina was younger she was a promising ice skater. She skated for many years, but finally stopped, because she never won any trophies. Nina was the last to join the Cardigans, then being 18. She was introduced to Magnus by the former rhythm guitarist Matthias, who later joined the Hare Krishna's.
