Nini Iris: The Beginning Tour at the Williams Center

Press Release from the Williams Center in Rutherford



Featured on Billboard, People & NBC’s The Voice; Season 24’s Top 9 Semifinalist, Nini Iris, is coming to perform at the Williams Center [Rivoli Theater] in Rutherford, NJ on Friday, November 15th. Nini Iris astounded millions with her haunting rendition of Billie Eilish's "No Time To Die", a power ballad version of The Cure's "Lovesong" and wowed audiences and fans with a show-stopping cover of Radiohead's "Karma Police". 


Born and raised in Tbilisi, Georgia; Nini Iris grew up in a household that enjoyed listening to only traditional Georgian folk music. While living in Georgia, she auditioned and performed for Georgia’s XFactor and The Voice, where she placed as a Top 3 finalist. Almost a decade later, she auditioned for NBC’s The Voice and placed in the Top 9 of all contestants. While on the show, Nini gained her US citizenship and in less than 1 year later, was honored to sing the National Anthem as a new citizen at the first home game for the Kansas City Chiefs vs the Detroit Lions for over 70,000 fans. Nini Iris’ unique writing and singing style delivers an "old world" charm combined with dark textured overtones, with an aggressive pop edge. Every one of Nini's performances are personal and powerful. Nini's eclectic songwriting and powerhouse vocals leaves fans and listeners at dizzy heights.


Opening for Nini Iris is artist Paloma Dineli Chesky.

Paloma is a unique young artist, Brazilian-American, she is not only a powerful performer who dominates the stage and electrifies her audience, but she is also an incredible songwriter. Critics rave: "Thrilling, Exciting And Amazingly Attractive Force" (Blues 21.com) "A Voice That Could Stop Traffic" (Steve Hard from Just Jazz) "The Vocal Phenomenon"(Broadway World), Bob Legget (LA Music Critic) praises: "Her Music Shows Maturity Way Past her Years" Despite her youth, Paloma's vocal maturity is astonishing. Singing, playing piano, and composing from a very early age, for several years Paloma has performed her own compositions with the New York Philharmonic and has held solo concerts at leading NYC venues such as City Winery, Birdland, and Dizzy's Club. Her first album, Thirteen, concentrated on her original compositions, and on her second album, Soul on Soul she demonstrates the breadth of her repertoire, reaching back into the gospel, blues, and soul traditions performing the songs of Robert Johnson, Reverend Gary Davis, James Brown, and Bob Dylan. Paloma’s sometimes gritty delivery ensures that her interpretations of lyrics are wholly in keeping with the soulful origins of the music. Paloma is a fierce performer, her presence on stage is absolutely contagious! A fun fact; Paloma is the youngest performer to headline shows at iconic New York venues such as Birdland and City Winery. Paloma is producing and experimenting with new styles and has an EP on the way.
