Nityalila Saulo is a Filipina singer-songwriter and a music producer. She was born and raised in a family of Yoga practitioners and vegetarians.
She first picked up her dad’s guitar at the early age of seven. At fourteen, she started exploring her writing abilities and by sixteen, she had written her first original composition.
Her lyrics are highly influenced by the Vedic and the Filipino culture that speaks about her heritage, essence, function, and position in life. Her music is rooted in folk infused with rock and world music.
In October 2003, right after graduating from college, Nityalila started performing in bars and cafes around Metro Manila as a solo folk-singer.
In the later part of 2004, she officially formed the “Nityalila Group” with musician friends. As a group they played regular gigs in respectable bars, cafes, restaurants, events and productions, and provinces in the Philippines.
She was nominated Best Performance by a New Female Recording Artist at the 2008 Awit Awards, a prestigious award-giving body, spearheaded by PARI (The Philippine Association of the Record Industry, Inc.), that gives recognition to Filipino performing artists and people behind the making of Filipino recorded music.
Just recently, March 23, 2009, she performed at the 1st Bitan Music Festival held in Taiwan, to be the only artist to represent the Philippines, where she played an hour and a half all original set.
She is also a member of Bitaw! (Being Inspired Through Active Wonder) — A comedy collective put together to inspire, encourage and entertain. Also, she is the founder and producer of Flippyknows, a community where Filipinos all over the world converge to share creativity and technology with each other.
