Nina Maria is originally from the west side ghetto of St. Louis, MO. I moved to Whitehaven in Memphis, TN when my Big Mama died and I was 12. I went to high school at Whitehaven High School and when my family moved to Raleigh north of north Memphis I stayed in attendance at Whitehaven. I took a lot of (college credit) advance placement classes and I graduated top 10% with a 5.0... not a car, just the GPA. :) I got a partial scholarship to Morehouse college, I went there and majored in a few things...electrical engineering and mathematics, girls, and pot. I failed that year, but I learned a lot. When I moved back to Memphis I quit pot, not girls and joined the United States Marine Corps as a small computer systems specialist. I got out with an Honorable Discharge after traveling to duty stations here and abroad. After getting out I was in an abusive relationship and I had a nervous breakdown and I was told I have schizo-effective disorder. I moved to Eolia, MO where my Grandfather left me, my mother, and my cousin a house and eight acres of land. I bounced around sick, not taking my medications in St. Louis homeless shelters and Columbia, MO where I tried to take my meds but I was so sick, I was misidentified by someone from a shooting in the area. I was arrested and up against 30 years. I took a plea when the number got to four because I knew the were trying to hang me out to dry. I did two inside and walked down two years parole. By God's grace He got me back to Eolia and before I let out four digital albums. When I just had a cd Walkman, I would pray and give thanks that even though I walk through the valley of death...He comforts and protects me.. I knew I was a hermaphrodite but it didn't take much meditation to wonder at least to me why I acted like a tomboy or man or whatever. I yearn to be loved by a man. I wanted to have General Reassignment Surgery, but due to my multiple sclerosis my mother has urged me not to. I'm still going to take transgender pills soon though. Now that I'm looking more like a female I want to see if the pills will affect my body without a testosterone blocker. I have been celibate going on ten years. Seems like forever... But I'm not in a rush to have sex with a male or female. I just hope y'all like the music. I haven't had musical training since elementary school. And I didn't even practice then. So I play by ear any instrument I hold, it's my soul... And I freestyle all or most of my music, cuzz new is never old.
