Eunice Kathleen Waymon was a pianist, singer, composer and activist for African American civil rights. She is well known in jazz circles, but worked in various musical styles during her life, such as classical music, blues, folk, soul, R&B, gospel and pop.
She adopted her stage name at age 20 so she could sing blues hidden from her parents, who did not accept her choice to be a singer, while training to become a classical pianist, in bars in New York, Philadelphia and Atlantic City. She also stood out for taking a stand against racism in the growing wave that swept the United States in the 1960s. Because of her involvement, she sang at Martin Luther King's funeral.
After being prevented from becoming a major concert pianist through the conservatory, Nina remained in New York for some time until she went to Atlantic City and, in that city, working as a pianist in a bar, she yielded to the owner's requests to sing while playing piano. She adopted the name Nina Simone, which launched a successful career that resulted in a re-release of the recording and Simone's return to the music charts.[3]
In her career, she performed songs in various styles, ranging from gospel to soul, and also composed some songs. She was one of the first Black artists to enter the renowned Juilliard School of Music in New York. Her song Mississippi Goddamn became an activist anthem for the Black cause. It speaks about the murder of four Black children in a church in Birmingham in 1963. While performing at a military event at Forte Dix, New Jersey, in 1971, during the Vietnam War, Nina Simone gave voice to those who opposed the conflict, when she sang a poem in which God is called a murderer, after 18 minutes of My Sweet Lord by George Harrison.
