Nina Woodford-Berger is a London-based Swedish song writer.
Due to her sisters boyfriend, who was a producer, Nina started singing backup for Swedish artists such as Eric Gadd, E-Type, The Navigators.[1] and international artists recording in Stockholm, as in the case of Britney Spears debut album Oops!... I Did It Again.[2] She started to make suggestions on how to improve the songs lyrics and the sisters boyfriend encouraged her to start writing songs.[3] Woodford also tried a hand at acting in the mid 90s and played smaller parts in a handful of Swedish TV and film productions.[4]
At age 25 she moved to London and started working her way up as a song writer from the bottom. Woodford has written songs for Tom Jones, Leona Lewis, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, British TV Show Britannia High, Australian singers Cassie Davis and Holly Valance, Christina Milian, The Saturdays, Sugababes and Jay Sean.[5]
Her biggest hit to date is Broken Strings the third single by James Morrison from his second studio album Songs for You, Truths for Me. The song is a duet with Canadian pop/R&B singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado.[5]
