Nina Diaz, lead singer of the indie punk rock band, Girl in a Coma has been on tour for her debut solo album, The Beat is Dead. This album tells the story of her struggles with addiction, rehabilitation and getting clean. We met at KBOO Community Radio for a delightful performance interview, including two songs: January 9th and For You.
Nina talked a lot about the experience of writing and composing songs while in various stages of rehabilitation, in hopes that her album will help others who struggle with similar issues.
She let us geek out for a moment about linguistic choices, as a native Texan. We talked about the pressure of an ethnic last name, what languages are or are not expected of you and how this is further impacted in “Trump’s America.”

I really enjoyed meeting Nina – not just for her impressive voice and creative music styles – but for owning who she is. One of my favorite parts of the interview is that she said her way of fighting back is by being the most authentic version of her self: a woman of color – no apologies.
