Biography
Eunice Kathleen Waymon (February 21, 1933 - April 21, 2003), known professionally as Nina Simone, was an American singer, songwriter, musician, arranger, and civil rights activist. Her music spanned a broad range of musical styles including classical, jazz, blues, folk, R&B, gospel, and pop.
To make a living, Simone started playing piano at a nightclub in Atlantic City. She changed her name to "Nina Simone" to disguise herself from family members, having chosen to play "the devil's music" or so-called "cocktail piano." She was told in the nightclub that she would have to sing to her own accompaniment, which effectively launched her career as a jazz vocalist. She went on to record more than 40 albums between 1958 and 1974, making her debut with the Little Girl Blue. She had a hit single in the United States in 1958 with "I Loves You, Porgy". Her musical style fused gospel and pop with classical music, in particular Johann Sebastian Bach, and accompanied expressive, jazz-like singing in her contralto voice.

Independent: Nina is a very self-driven wolf, and she needs nobody. She can get things done alone, and never relies on anyone else. She prefers to work alone and hats being dependent on others.
Helpful: Nina is always willing to lend a helping hand, and in fact sometimes insists. While she refuses others help, she assumes they need hers. She'll do just about anything anyone asks her.
Arrogant: Nina's a bit full of herself, too proud to ask for aid and always insisting on giving it. She expect a lot of herself, and sort of thinks of herself as above others.
