Nina Paolicelli to perform at RESOLVE’s 3rd annual Resolutionary Awards Breakfast

Rochester native returns to hometown to honor those working to combat domestic violence

Quick Summary

Nina Paolicelli returns to her hometown to perform at RESOLVE’s 3rd annual Resolutionary Awards Breakfast, debuting her single "Look," which reflects her childhood experiences with domestic violence. The song aims to empower victims to say "No More" and highlights the silent suffering of children affected by abuse. Nina's collaboration with RESOLVE, a Pittsford-based nonprofit that aided her mother, emphasizes her commitment to raising awareness about domestic violence and its long-lasting impac

Recently signed to a distribution deal with Sony, Nina wrote and co-produced the new record. As a child, she was a silent victim to the abuse her mother endured for years and hopes that "Look" will not only encourage other sufferers of abuse to say "No More," but to cast a shadow on those who have chosen not to stand by them.

Teaming with RESOLVE to champion a cause Nina’s extremely passionate about, the Pittsford-based non-profit played a major role in helping Nina’s mother find her way out. RESOLVE has also assisted many victims of domestic violence over the years. Now, Nina hopes to contribute by raising awareness through the release of "Look."

Written from a child’s perspective, "Look" sheds light on the haunting and long lasting impact domestic violence has on its young, silent victims. In a recent article in the Democrat and Chronicle, Nina discusses how the song came about, "When I wrote the song, I was taking it from that experience," she said. "I wanted to give the song a child’s perspective because they are so often the silent victims. They are important too."
