Nino Katamadze, from Kobuleti, is one of Georgia's most renowned singers. Katamadze was a little-known singer when she arrived in Tbilisi a few years ago.

Nino tours a great deal and has performed at several important music festivals.At this point in her career, she has a very busy schedule. Defining the exact style of Katamadze's music is difficult; Nino calls it "art jazz."She sings mostly about love, sometimes spontaneously composing songs onstage."Musical motifs appear in my head unpredictably," she explains. Some call the singer the "Georgian Janis Joplin," a name that fits, given Nino's long hair and "hippie style" that make her seem a "daughter of the 60s." Music is a vital part of Katamadze's life, and her performances are always captivating."Music is the relationship between people," she explains, "and that's why live music is so important, because you share your impulses, love and way of life with people." Nino was born in Adjaria and studied as a vocalist in Batumi. In 1999, Nino Katamadze founded her 4 piece band - Insight. Since then they have been performing across Georgia, in Moscow and in some European countries. Band’s repertoire includes a lot of originally arranged Georgian folk songs.
