Nano (ナノ, stylized as nano) is a singer who originally posted music on YouTube and Niconico before being signed by a record label.
Nano was born on July 12, in New York City, in the United States, but then moved to Japan.
Nano posted covers of Vocaloid, anime and Avril Lavigne songs online, first on YouTube and later on the Japanese site Niconico. She is bilingual, and sometimes writes English lyrics to the covered songs, giving them a western touch without losing the original style. Eventually this led to a record deal with Japanese major label Flying Dog. The debut album Nanoir was released on March 14, 2012. Nano's first live performance was on March 16, 2013.
Nano has recorded several original theme songs for various anime series, such as, "Bull's Eye" for Hidan no Aria, "Now or Never" for Phi Brain: Puzzle of God, "No Pain, No Game" and "Exist" for Btooom!, "Savior of Song" (feat. My First Story) for Arpeggio of Blue Steel, "Born To Be" for Magical Warfare, "Sable" for M3 the dark metal, "Dreamcatcher" for Magical Girl Raising Project, and "Rock On." for the first film of Arpeggio of Blue Steel, Arpeggio of Blue Steel: Ars Nova DC.
