Mainly known as a conductor and pianist, Nanisi holds the distinction of being the first open lesbian to conduct on the stage of D.A.R. Constitution Hall in Washinton D.C. When M.S. stopped her performing and travel, she returned to her second love: Writing. The Cameron Andrews Mystery Series was her first endeavour. Originally planned as three books, it has grown into eight books and counting. A second series, the String Series about cellist Chris Anthony is also in the works. In addition to many short stories, she has just completed Shaymana, set in the twenty-fourth century.
