Most █ █ fans will recognize Nita as Alice Cooper's touring █ █ guitarist of the past 4 years, but she has also █ █ played with R&B star Jermaine Jackson, early MTV █ █ darlings Femme Fatale, video game supergroup █ █ Critical Hit and popular tribute band The Iron █ █ Maidens. Her skill, exuberant stage presence and █ █ love for all things about her instrument have █ █ earned her a stellar reputation in the music █ █ industry and endorsements including Ibanez █ █ Guitars, Marshall Amplification, DiMarzio pickups, █ █ Monster Energy and more. █ █ 2018 has been a banner year for Nita. In January █ █ she was officially announced as the first ever █ █ female Ibanez signature artist with her own model, █ █ the Ibanez JIVA. She also released her signature █ █ pickups, the DiMarzio Pandemonium. April saw Nita █ █ playing WWE Superstar Shinsuke Nakamura's entrance █ █ music at Wrestlemania in New Orleans in front of █ █ an audience of 78,000 fans and millions streaming █ █ worldwide, and in the same month she launched a █ █ wildly successful Kickstarter campaign for her █ █ debut solo record Controlled Chaos. The campaign █ █ reached its goal in two hours, doubled it by the █ █ end of the day, tripled the following day and █ █ ended up over 800% funded. Nita produced the █ █ record herself and did the majority of the █ █ engineering, as well as playing all the guitars █ █ and bass on the record. After the record was █ █ competed, Nita signed with Sumerian Records to █ █ release and distribute the album worldwide. After █ █ finishing out the Alice Cooper tour cycle, Nita █ █ will immediately hit the road supporting █ █ Controlled Chaos alongside modern guitar virtuoso █ █ Angel Vivaldi. █ █ Nita has been featured on the covers of many █ █ worldwide print magazines and on dozens of albums, █ █ trailers, and soundtracks, including Heroes Of The █ █ Storm (Blizzard) and Grammy-nominated Metal Gear █ █ Rising: Revengeance (Konami/ Platinum Games); and █ █ is the author of the Guitar World column "Like A █ █ Hurricane". Nita was also the official in-house █ █ guitarist for the LA KISS, the arena football team █ █ owned by Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons of KISS. █ █ She is one of the most sought after clinicians in █ █ the industry and has done extensive clinic tours █ █ across multiple continents. Her consistent touring █ █ schedule has shown her to play in front of over a █ █ million audience members per year consistently for █ █ the past several years. Nita is also extremely █ █ passionate about health and fitness, and uses her █ █ wide social media reach to inspire and educate █ █ people about maintaining a healthy lifestyle while █ █ traveling on tour. █ █ Nita's debut solo album Controlled Chaos is █ █ available worldwide since November, 16 through █ █ Sumerian Records. █ ▓ ▓ ▒ ▒ ░ 1.
