Nina Daniels, a commanding yet versatile, Ivy League rising star recently created the role of Lil’ Tease, a female, freaky, gangster rapper in J. Kyle Manzay's hysterically funny, Off Broadway comedy, "The Actor's Rap." Nina's range is so profound that she has the ability to go from playing a hip-hop icon to portraying one of the most influential people in the world, Coretta Scott King. Nina loves being a trailblazer and always has her eye on roles that will utilize her skills as well as challenge her range. Nina was given the honor of escorting legendary actress, Ruby Dee down the red carpet for the Pell Awards where Ruby Dee and her late husband Ossie Davis were recipients of the lifetime achievement award for Excellence in the Arts. Nina said, “It was my dream to meet Ruby, and having been given that opportunity, she has given me invaluable advice that makes me demand so much more of myself as an artist.”

Nina is originally from New York and Japan, but currently resides in sunny Los Angeles.
