Born and raised in Dumaguete City, emerging artist Nino is bent on redefining contemporary pop music with a distinctive blend of rock, soul, and what he calls “space pop.” His music, characterized by spacious reverb, panning vocals, and echoing delays, crafts immersive soundscapes that delve into themes of self-confrontation and soul-searching.

His debut release, “Heart, Attacks,” offers a fresh perspective on love, told from the viewpoint of someone hesitant to fully surrender. With introspective lyrics and a carefree energy, Nino reflects on new beginnings, not just in love but in life. Lines like “I’ll do it all for fun; I don’t even need the sun” capture the joy of embracing emotions without overthinking.

Nino is one of the artists under Diorama FM, a new music label dedicated to cultivating artists with a distinct sound and strong creative identity. To promote his debut single, Nino has a live performance video of “Heart, Attacks” on the Diorama YouTube channel released a day after Valentine’s Day.

With a debut single that is undoubtedly catchy plus the promise of more music that has the same exciting and refreshingly new sound as “Heart, Attacks,” Nino is definitely one to watch.
