PATTAYA, Thailand -- Singer Nina not only wowed the audience at the recently-concluded 2011 Pattaya Music Festival in Thailand but she also made some of the representatives gush over her presence.

During the press conference of the music festival, a number of performers exclaimed that they were happy to have met the Filipino singer, whose performances and music they have been following on YouTube.

“It’s overwhelming,” says Nina of the compliments she received. “I had so much fun because I know they appreciate our music.”

Nina was joined by Singapore’s Derrick Hoh, Japan’s Golf-Mike, Ice-Saranyu, Chin-Chinnawut and Hanuman Bang, Malaysia’s Will Ng, Vietnam’s PAK, Laos’ Tik Princess and Indonesia’s Super Kidz. Korean pop star Ji-Hoon, known internationally as Rain and Son Dambi also attended the festival.

Nina sang three songs at the event, including her big hit "Someday." For her participation in the festival, Nina received the “Golden key to the City of Pattaya."

Universal Records’ big boss Kathleen Dy Go, who was with Nina during the festival, said Nina’s participation in the event was enthusiastically received and it truly made her kababayans proud.

Nina is currently working on a new album, her first under Universal Records due out soon.

“Expect few pleasant surprises from this new album of mine. We’re working very hard to make this project truly groundbreaking,” Nina said.

Singer Nina returned to Manila March 21 after representing the country at the Pattaya International Music Festival in Pattaya, Thailand, ABS-CBN News online reported.

At the said Asian music affair, the “ASAP” regular performed with some of the region’s bankable pop stars including Korean “Ninja Assassin” star Rain (Ji-Hoon).

Nina told ABS-CBN News upon arrival at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport from Thailand: “Sobrang sarap ng treatment and sarap ng feeling to share the same stage where si Rain performed and a lot of artists na sobrang sikat din sa kanilang countries like Laos, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia so ang dami ko ring nakilalang [foreign] artists.”

Nina also appeared in Thai TV shows to promote the music festival. “Sobrang sarap ng experience kasi from the time na dumating kami sa Thailand, non-stop talaga ‘yung pag-promote namin sa TV at sa radio stations.”

The experience, she said, was made more memorable because she got to be with fellow Asian acts. “Kaming lahat, kaming lahat na mga artists, so ang saya kasi parang hindi ka malulungkot kasi sama-sama kayo to explore Thailand.”

For participating at the musicfest, Nina received the Golden Key to the City of Pattaya.
