Nina Blackwood (born September 12, 1955) is an American disc jockey and music journalist, who was the first of the original five MTV VJs. She has also been an actress and model.
Interviewing people is pretty natural for me.
I have two syndicated radio shows though United Stations Radio Network.
A regret I have was never being able to interview George Harrison. I just loved him but I never had a chance to interview him.
Because I was the blonde, I was promoted as the video vixen.
My reading is always about musical biographies. I have an innate interest and passion for that.
Christopher Guest movies are my top of the line favorites.
I am a curious person and, believe it or not, I really do like to sit back and listen to people's stories.
I get real excited when I hear my shows on the radio.
The heyday of video music was the mid 80's.
People that really know me will tell you that I am not a video vixen.
First of all, you needed a budget to do the video. The record companies would pick and choose who got videos.
I could not do the film Spinal Tap because I was already at MTV and it was occupying all my time.
I am like the little rock n' roll backseat driver.
