Nina Girado Facts

- Her father’s plans for her had changed, however, as she grew older. He had wanted Nina to earn a college degree (preferably a law degree) and join him for work in the United States.
- Nina, however, went against her father’s wishes and had joined a band called XS, as a vocalist, when she was 17 years old. Just 2 months after her father had died of a heart attack in the United States, she had bagged her first major recording contract, with Warner Music Philippines.
