In the newest episode of the “Impact The Future” podcast, we host an extraordinary artist whose international career is moving at full speed – Antonina (Nina Anto) Pawlak. A scholar of the Rafał Brzoska Foundation and a graduate of the prestigious California Institute of the Arts (Performer-Composer program), Nina is a prime example of courage, passion, and determination in the pursuit of musical dreams.
Nina Anto is an artist with a remarkably deep and unique voice that captivated Greg Enriquez – the vocal coach for stars like Celine Dion and Solange. Her vocal and compositional talent goes far beyond the ordinary, and her musical path is filled with both significant challenges and spectacular achievements.
A Musical Journey of Discovery
In this episode, we set out on a journey to discover:
- How music became her life’s passion: Nina talks about her first steps – from a local community center to international stages where her voice resonates with its full power.
- What it means to have a unique voice and how to turn it into your greatest strength: We hear about finding and nurturing one’s musical identity despite difficulties and external expectations.
- What life is like for an artist in Los Angeles: Is it truly the city of fulfilled dreams? Nina shares her reflections on living in the heart of the music industry.
- The importance of asking for help: We learn how support from others – both mentors and friends – allows an artist to break through barriers and grow.
- The hurdles of securing an “O” Visa: A look behind the scenes at the effort required to earn the right to work across the ocean and the lessons learned from the process.
- The role of the Rafał Brzoska Foundation: How the foundation helps young talents cross borders and achieve their boldest dreams.
More Than Just a Performer
Nina Anto is also a member of The Recording Academy, collaborating with Grammy mentors, and the founder of myAUDIOSIGN, a company specializing in sound branding. This conversation is about determination, self-reliance, and boldly pushing past one’s own limitations – a true inspiration for those who are not afraid to dream big and act with passion.
We encourage you to follow her musical journey. A few months ago, her track “Desire” was released on YouTube – a few minutes of exceptional sound that is well worth remembering.
