After signing a record deal with Warner Music Philippines, Nina released her first single, "Heaven," in 2002.

In 2003, the music videos for "Jealous" and "Foolish Heart" gained popularity in the Philippines, topping various music video charts in the country. "Jealous" featured actor Cedric Carreon, playing the role of ex-boyfriend in the music video. It won Favorite New Artist in a Video at the 2003 MTV Pilipinas Music Award. The music video for "Loving You" depicts Nina on a journey in a fantasy world to find her dream guy. All music videos from the album Heaven (2002) were directed by Avid Liongoren, except "Foolish Heart." "A Girl Can Dream," the second single from her second studio album Smile (2003) featured singer Christian Bautista as her love interest in a school-themed music video."The Song After The Star: Christian Bautista".

The following year, "There You'll Be" was directed by Lim, and described by Nina as a "thank you" video for her fans.
The music video for "Dance," the lead single from Nina's sixth studio album Stay Alive (2011), was directed by Lim and became a critical acclaim. It featured the cameo appearance of R&B singer Duncan Ramos and Nina in Gaga-ish costumes while dancing to the song.
