Naina Jinga - is a Canadian-Romanian award-winning composer and a classically trained pianist, who lives, teaches and creates in Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada). Naina was born in Cluj-Napoca, Romania - a city with ancient musical traditions and the cultural heart of modern Transylvania. She began playing the piano at the age of four, performing as a piano-soloist with an orchestra at ten, and writing her first compositions at twelve.
She has appeared as a piano-soloist with Romanian orchestras, in solo and piano-duos piano recitals. Naina graduated from the "Gheorghe Dima" Academy of Music in 1991 (B.Mus), where she was later appointed as an Assistant Professor and, in 1998, as an University lecturer.
She holds a M.Mus and a Ph.D. in Composition with a “Magna cum Laudae” and is also the recipient of many international awards and scholarships, among them, the Romanian Composers’ League Prize and the UNESCO award and scholarship. For many decades, Naina Jinga has written extensively in instrumental, vocal, choral, chamber music and orchestral genres, using the avant-garde language of 1980s and 1990s contemporary music, in the style of dodecaphonic, serial, and later, modal music. Her works were performed in Canada, Europe, U.S. and Australia.

In more recent years, embracing a new style - the light classical music with a soothing and so touching romantic flavour - has won her a loyal fanbase and increased worldwide her popularity. Her music has many different expressions and has been described as sensitive, touching, deeply moving, lyrical in inspiration, subtle and thoughtful. Her romantic piano ballads - "Dream", "Emotions", "Tears of Light", "Nostalgia" or "Shall we Waltz?"- won their well-deserved place in Top 10 on Radio stations, while platforms such as iTunes, Spotify, Deezer, Amazon or Women of Substance Podcast are featuring her music. In 2019, Naina Jinga produced and published her own album, "Piano Dreams", a kind of anthology for solo piano. It is made up of 14 piano ballads whose themes express the most universal of human emotions: love, romance, longing, pain, joy.

In 2021, Naina Jinga became the recipient of the Gold Medal for her piano-ballade "Dream..." at the Inaugural Edition of the Global International Music Competition (in the Versatile Musician category), competition organized by Concours International de Musique et Des Beaux Arts.

In October 2021, with two of her piano-ballades - "Lullaby for Tomorrow" and "Tango Interrupted" - Naina became the winner of the Gold Medal at the Inaugural Edition of the Grand Maestro International Music Competition.

The last months of 2021 made her become also the recipient of the Gold Award in the Instrumental Performance - Best Music Composer category (for the piano-ballade "Tango Interrupted") and also in the Instrumental Performance - Best Instrumental Performance Video category (for her piano-ballade "Amalfi ... To Italy with Love") at the Lit Talent Awards organized in the United States. She became the recipient of the Third Award for her piano-ballade "Dream..." in the Professional Musician category at the Red Maple Competition organized in Toronto, Canada. Naina became the winner of the Grand Prize at the International Youth Music Competition - in the category Composer/Performer, Singer/Songwriter with her piano-ballade "Whispers of Love" and the recipient of the Gold Award and the Artist Award for the same ballade, in the open category at the Universal Music Stars Competition.

In 2022, Naina's piano-ballades earned accolades at the 10th edition of the InterContinental Music Awards, while the composer became a finalist in this prestigious competition (classical and ambient music categories).
