The Story

Born between two worlds. Fluent in both.

Nino Augustine is building a sound that lives at the intersection of Latin music and Afrofusion — bridging worlds in a way that feels natural, not forced. Born in Panama, the birthplace of Spanish reggae, and now based in Atlanta, he pulls from both cultures to create records that move between Afrobeats, Amapiano, reggaetón, salsa, dancehall and hip-hop with ease.

Since emerging in 2017, Nino has focused on more than just genre blending — he's been defining a lane. His ability to write and perform bilingually has allowed him to connect across markets, while projects like Global Ninz earned recognition from Rolling Stone, signaling early on that his sound was resonating beyond borders.

That early momentum has turned into real positioning. Billboard named him an Artist to Watch, TIDAL highlighted him as a rising voice, and his releases have landed on the covers of major DSP playlists — cementing him as part of the next wave of globally minded Latin artists. Records like “Callaíto” further underline his ability to create music that travels.

His recent run of projects shows that growth clearly. 100% (2024) sharpened his identity and expanded his reach, while Bajo el Radar (2025) continued to build a cohesive sound rooted in rhythm, melody and cultural perspective. His collaborations reflect the global scope of his work, linking with artists like Walshy Fire of Major Lazer, Goyo, Mystro and PsychoYP.
