We had the good fortune of connecting with Nino and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nino, what is the most important factor behind your success?
Consistency, definitely

Please tell us more about your work. We’d love to hear what sets you apart from others, what you are most proud of or excited about. How did you get to where you are today professionally. Was it easy? If not, how did you overcome the challenges? What are the lessons you’ve learned along the way. What do you want the world to know about you or your brand and story?
Most importantly I’m self made, self taught. I haven’t had any instructors or anyone to help me out. I definitely had to figure it out on my own so I’m very proud of that. Knowing that no one can point a finger and say Oh I helped him get there. I really owe it all to myself. Hardwork and consistency. Learned how to carry myself and to choose wisely who is in my inner circle. Just positivity around me.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I’m at the moment in Dubai so there is plenty of cool spots to visit and many touristic attractions. I like the Old Souq area, very laid back and traditional that fascinates me every time I visit. Then very opposite of that the Downtown area, around Dubai mal and Burj Khalifa is just magical.
Also beach clubs are just so good here. Really impressive

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My family is very supportive and also I would definitely say that what keeps me motivated every day is just music. I can’t live without it, or listening to my favorite artist. It really motivates me and lifts me up whenever I’m down. It’s all I need to bring all those emotions and adrenaline to keep it up.
