Early life and education
[edit]Nina Bergman is the granddaughter of renowned Russian actor Pavel Kadochnikov. Her grandmother was an opera singer and actress, and her father is a film school professor in Denmark.[1] Bergman spent her early childhood traveling across Europe with her Russian Gypsy grandparents. She started in the arts, dancing, at the age of four.[1]
At the age of 14, Bergman received a scholarship to the Urdang Academy in London to study musical theatre. A year later, she continued her education at the prestigious Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow in ballet before moving to New York City, where she attended NYU's Tisch School of the Arts.[2] During this time, she signed with her first agent, leading to roles in plays, films, commercials and to modeling work.[3] Bergman later relocated to Los Angeles.[4]
Bergman is a polyglot: she speaks English, Danish, Russian, Swedish, and Norwegian.[5]
Career
[edit]Bergman's career has multiple facets: actress, rock band singer, and model.[6]
Film
[edit]Sometimes described as an "adrenaline junkie," Bergman took up amateur boxing to make ends meet in New York,[3] which would later help her secure action roles in films such as Universal Pictures' The Car: Road to Revenge (a remake of the 1977 horror film) and Doom: Annihilation.[7] She played lead roles in Hell Hath No Fury, directed by Jesse V. Johnson, as a French resistance fighter[5][8] and in Sieze the Night, as "GG," a character based on a 1990s goth singer.[9]
Her most recent work includes a supporting role in the thriller Chief of Station, starring Aaron Eckhart,[10] and a lead role in the horror film Cold Meat, co-starring Allen Leech,[11] which premiered in 2023 at FrightFest in London.[12] She is also set to appear in Deathstalker, an adaptation of Roger Corman's cult classic, for which she wrote and performed the end-credit song.[10]
Bergman's performance as the assassin Trinidad in Assassin X earned her an Honorable Mention Award for Best Actress at the AOF International Film Festival.[2]
Bergman portrayed Wonder Woman in a short fan film directed by Jesse V. Johnson, co-starring Timothy V. Murphy and Marina Sirtis,[13] and appeared in The Wayshower alongside Peter Stormare and Eric Roberts.[3] Her work also includes an ad piece titled Skeet Art by the Freise Brothers and Biscuit Filmworks for the Know New Art campaign for the 16th annual Newport Beach Film Festival.[14]

Music career
[edit]While studying musical theater at Tisch School of the Arts, Bergman discovered foundational influences in the works of musical artists Linkin Park and NIN.[4] She began her music career singing in underground bands, and, upon learning that her favorite underground band Kidneythieves lost their lead singer, moved to LA to pursue joining that band.[4] Several members of Kidneythieves joined with Bergman to form the band Shocknina, which toured and released an EP.[5] Shocknina provided Bergman with the experience she needed to launch her own band, Dead Rose Beauty,[4] which toured with rock legends like Meat Loaf[17][18] and the Scorpions.[19] She honed her musical presentation in clubs on the Sunset Strip and in other local clubs.[3] Bergman subsequently fronted the band Letters from the Fire from 2017–2019.
Bergman's theatrical agent introduced her to legendary musician Paul Anka, who managed her music career and helped her secure a six-album deal with Warner Bros. Records[20] under Rob Cavallo as the solo project N.I.N.A.[4]
