Nina Tenge (born 6 April 1974 in Hamburg), also known under her stage names Nina and Nina MC, is a German former rapper and artist.

Life and work

Tenge was born to father Rahman Nadjafi, an Afghan teacher and activist, and mother Verena Tenge, a eurythmist.[1]

Nina Tenge gained stage experience in hip-hop clubs in Hamburg.[2] In 2000 she became increasingly known by collaborating with Deichkind's hit single Bon Voyage.[3][4] In 2001 her solo single Doppel X Chromosome gained widespread media attention.[2][5] The Süddeutsche Zeitung named her "Germany's best rapper". The Goethe-Institut repeated this judgment on its website in 2005.[6][2]

She entered the acting industry in 2003, playing guest roles in series and featured roles in films.[6]

Outside of music and acting, she has been involved with her father in an association for reconstruction programmes in Afghanistan.[7] She also trained in yoga and now works as a yoga teacher in Berlin.[8][2]
