About me

Nino Djemalovna Shanshiashvili (stage name Nutsa) was born in Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia. She graduated from Georgian State Academy of Arts, class of Zurab Nijaradze. Her work as a painter is internationally acclaimed. Her personal art shows brought huge success in Tbilisi (Georgia), Paris (France) at Charles Deman Gallery, and New York (Grant Gallery).

 

Since that year, her solo vocal career began. Considered one of the most authentic and original talents, Nutsa Shanshiashvili could be rightfully called a true Renaissance Artist – an actress, a painter, and a singer, she has achieved international acclaim in all of the above-mentioned categories. Nutsa has won the love of Georgian, Israeli, and American theater audiences and concertgoers by playing Edith Piaf in a stage production of “Edith Piaf. My Legionnaire” as well as headlining “The Lover of Love” and “The Lover of Love 2” world tours produced and directed by the famous Roman Viktiuk. Her personal fine art exhibits are a constant success way beyond her native Republic of Georgia. In addition to her stage, fine art, and music career, Nutsa has starred in feature motion pictures “March Turetskogo,” “Rostov Papa,” “Amapola,” and “The Law.”

 

Critics rated her performance as extraordinary: “Nutsa’s performance is a unique blend of the best musical traditions from her native Republic of Georgia and Western Europe integrated into her vision of the jazz legacy. She transforms every vocal composition into a very personal story—it’s almost a confession-like combination of Jazz and Theatre.”
