BIO
Nyla XO is a Chicago-based singer-songwriter, producer, and keyboardist, originally from Los Angeles. Nyla's destiny has always been intertwined with music, even when her feet could barely reach the piano pedals.
Drawing inspiration from artists like Alessia Cara, India.Arie, Tori Kelly, and Alicia Keys, Nyla combines Pop, Alt-RnB, and Soul, to craft songs that capture the essence of life's ups, downs, and everything in between. Known for her lush harmonies, Nyla's musical playground is rich and versatile. A chameleon of sorts, effortlessly shifting from her playful and fun nature, to a nurturing mama bear, reassuring you that everything will be alright. Nyla's music has been featured on The CW, Netflix, and BET, to name a few.
Recently recognized as “The Next Great Unsigned Artist” by Billboard and Samsung, and landing on the cover of Billboard, Nyla's star power is soaring. And not just on stage. Behind the scenes, Nyla is a true creative force - from conceptualizing and designing visuals to directing and shooting her own music videos, the “DIY QUEEN” weaves her XO touch seamlessly into every project.
