Osatohanmen Mary Idehen, widely known by her stage name Nina Shezz, is a dynamic force in the gospel music landscape of Nigeria. Born on July 23, 1994, in Lagos, she grew up under the nurturing influence of a devout Christian family, where she discovered and honed her vocal talents initially in the church choir. Her early desire to pursue a career in medicine took a transformative turn at the age of eighteen when a pivotal solo performance at church set her on a musical path.
At this turning point, Nina sought formal musical training, enrolling in a music academy to refine her vocal and performance skills. Her strategic use of social media allowed her talents to flourish, catching the attention of established gospel artist Frank Edwards.

These tracks eloquently interlace gospel themes with Afrobeats, showcasing Nina's ability to bridge cultural sounds.
Her work has earned her accolades, including the Metropolitan Award for Best Female Soloist in 2014 and the prestigious Kingdom Achievers Rising Star Award in 2023.
