Janina Maria Irizarry Nazario (or simply Janina) is a Puerto Rican singer and actress more known for being the winner of the first season of Objetivo Fama, a singing talent contest held in Puerto Rico. Janina has also hosted several television shows on the island. She is a member of the first sorority of Puerto Rico, the Mu Alpha Phi sorority.
Janina Irizarry Nazario was born in San Germán, P.R. When she was a little girl, her family settled in Lajas. It was in this town where she grew up, why this is considered “Lajeña”. Her artistic vocation surfaced during her childhood, which led her parents to lead it in the musical art. At the age of nine formally began her education in this discipline, taking singing lessons and piano. As usual in these cases, the basis of education she received was the classic genre. But, the rock influence was very strong in her; above all, the bands Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, No Doubt, Journey and veteran vocalist Lana Turner.
From her early teens, Janina was frequent participant in talent contests and artistic events at the student. In 2000, counting the time 17 years, represented Puerto Rico at a convention and competition for amateur artists called "Connections", which was held in the U.S. state of Florida. The fate led her in that contest, she won the First Prize.
After completing her degrees she joined the Inter-American University campus of San Germán, Puerto Rico, where she continued her musical studies. During the four years she spent in this room formed part of the rock group No Mistake, against whom she had opportunity to perform at festivals and nightclubs in many cities, including San Juan.
Janina, was the winner of Objetivo Fama on it first season. Arguably, the experience gained over that period was decisive in their performance on “Objetivo Fama” because since her first appearance before the cameras was established as a solid favorite to beat other competitors, as it did. This, plus other valuable prizes, earned her a contract as an exclusive artist of Univision Music Group. Now she is currently managed by Promotores Latinos
Its launch passes through the album "Todo De Mí” published on March 22, 2005. In this production, directed by Eduardo Reyes, release her first two singles: "Porque Tu No Estas” - versions in ballad and salsa - and "No Me Arrepiento". Thanks to the reception that the public has lent it, Janina had the opportunity to travel to major U.S. Hispanic spots for art events and performances in television programs.
