MS NINA SPEAKS ABOUT THE WORLD OF CULONA EL MUNDO ES TUYO

In 2026, Ms Nina stands at a moment of reinvention—more self-assured, more intentional, and more in control of her narrative than ever before. Known for her unapologetic aesthetic and deep connection to queer culture, the artist has built a career on blending sensuality, humor, and empowerment into a sound that feels both playful and defiant.

In this conversation, she reflects on the long-awaited release of her latest EP “CULONA EL MUNDO ES TUYO”, the creative and emotional hurdles behind it, and the personal growth that shaped its message. From experimenting with visual formats and artificial intelligence to embracing new aesthetics and routines like Pilates, Ms Nina opens up about transformation; not as a one-time act, but as a continuous process of falling, getting back up, and finding joy along the way.

Candid, charismatic, and grounded in her roots, she also speaks on friendship, collaboration, and the evolving music scenes that inspire her, while staying true to the message that has always defined her work: be yourself, have fun, and don’t ask for permission.

Álvaro Ramos: First of all, I’d like you to define yourself. I mean, who is Ms Nina in 2026?

Ms Nina: A gorgeous woman, because the truth is, I’ve never seen myself as beautiful. Now I see myself as a very beautiful, confident woman… yes, confident. If I saw my body and aura from the outside, I’d say: “What a beautiful woman, so self-assured, and so fun.”

AR: Wow, okay. Revisiting your YouTube channel, I realized you announced this project quite a while ago. What was the whole rollout like for you?

MN: Well, there were some things along the way, a couple of obstacles, and that’s why it took so long. Also, creatively, I needed to wrap it up properly, you know? I had it in mind, but I needed to finish it. In the end, everything aligned, and I said: “Okay, that’s it, let’s launch it.” I won’t deny I was a little scared; it was a mix of everything, but then it all fell into place and I said, «Okay, let’s do it.»

AR: What was the process of creating this EP like? Conceptually, how do you see it?

MN: It’s like… if you fall, you get up. The world is yours, go for it, get up another day. It’s kind of about that: reinventing yourself, waking up and understanding that it’s okay to mess up, that you can start again. I wanted to mix that without it being so dramatic or so personal, but with cool songs, with Pilates… because in this whole process of getting back on my feet, I started going to Pilates, taking care of myself, manifesting… it’s a bit of everything. There’s also the fun part, having a good time. Literally.

AR: Speaking of «Despeluca,» what’s your relationship with artificial intelligence when creating music or visuals?

MN: It’s just another resource. I did a cover with Isabella that used AI, and people criticized me a lot, so I changed it. I understand people’s reaction, because it seems like you don’t give work to others, but AI doesn’t do everything on its own either; you have to create too. And with «Despeluca,» we didn’t have time to make a music video. We had incredible photos, and we thought about combining everything. It turned out beautifully; I love it.

AR: Yes, absolutely. Besides, it was quite ahead of its time. I see a certain parallel between your career and Isabella’s, both empowered, talking about sexuality… what led you to connect with her?

MN: I connect with her a lot as a person; she’s very funny. We get along really well; whenever we meet, there’s a connection, and we have a great time. Beyond music, we’re friends.

AR: And how has that relationship evolved?

MN: Well, in the end, we’re just people who cross paths, whether in Madrid or New York… and familiarity breeds fondness. We’re really compatible, honestly. I love her, her music, her style, everything. She’s so original.

AR: Watching the music video for «Sucia,» there’s a more «ugly» aesthetic, dirtier but very powerful. How did you arrive at that?

MN: It was like… why do we always have to be beautiful? My friend kept asking me that. We’re already beautiful, so why not break with that? Do something weird, more geeky. That’s why it turned out so cool. At first, I wasn’t convinced; I thought, «It’s horrible,» but then I liked it.

AR: How do you differentiate a visualizer from a music video?

MN: For me, both are important. A visualizer can cost the same as a music video. A music video is more elaborate, with locations and all that, but I value both.

AR: Speaking of Argentina, you’re an OG of the genre. What’s your take on the scene there? Artists like Six Sex or Taichu?

MN: I love them, obviously. Their songs too. I just saw Taichu at Riverland Warm Up and it was incredible.

AR: What do you feel Argentina has given you in terms of who you are?

MN: More than anything cultural or folkloric, it’s humility. I come from a humble, down-to-earth family. My parents are still like that. That connection with family, with Latin culture… it’s something I’ll never let go of.

AR: Why do you think your music resonates so much with the queer community?

MN: Because I promote being yourself, having fun, enjoying yourself, not caring about anything. Freeing yourself. If you want to wear a skirt, wear it. Everyone is welcome.

AR: You were at an event of DSQUARED2 in Madrid. What was that experience like?

MN: Super great, super nice, they gave me clothes… incredible. They invited me to Fashion Week and I said, “Absolutely.” I would love to walk in something like Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty or DSQUARED2 even, I totally see myself in it.

AR: What’s it like working with Gonzalo Ortuño?

MN: Super great, a lot of fun. We’re colleagues. He’s very hands-on with me: “Nina, post this, this is okay, this isn’t.” At first, I felt uncomfortable because I was used to always dressing sexy, but it’s important to break with that too.

AR: In your latest teaser, there are religious references. What do you bring to that perspective?

MN: It has to do with maturing and being grateful: for food, the bed, the shower… everything. Also with energy. I’m very attuned to whether a place or a person gives me good vibes. I believe in that, in being at peace.

AR: The music video for “Pilates” has a very queer perspective, not intended for the male gaze.

MN: Of course, it’s for women, to feel empowered. I like feeling beautiful, but sometimes a certain male gaze makes me uncomfortable… but oh well, that’s life.

AR: There’s also the whole debate about OnlyFans and the industry…

MN: I liked what Villano Antillano said; he was brave. There was a time when I earned more money with OnlyFans than with music, but I didn’t dare say so. In the end, it’s a job; you can capitalize on your body if you want.

AR: The video is very pop. How did the idea come about?

MN: Pablo said, “Let’s do something that hooks you in three seconds.” And that’s when it all exploded. Very much designed for TikTok, to stop the scrolling.

AR: To wrap things up, share three bars from the EP with us, from whatever song you want.

MN: “Manifestando ese money” (“Flashing that money”)

“Me quiero poner high, a mi ex le dije bye” (“I want to get high, I said bye to my ex”)

“Culona y zen, combinación fatal” (“Big butt and zen, a killer combination”)

“Yo me abro de piernas, no soy bocachancla” (“I spread my legs, I’m not a pushover”)

“Gata, vamos a hacer dinero con ese chapón que tienes te compras el mundo entero” (“Girl, let’s make some money with that booty you have, you can buy the whole world”)

“Ella luce también con el oro de Shein.” (“She looks great in Shein gold too.”)
