   About NiLLa

TO BOOK NILLA, contact her directly: sweetnilla(at)gmail(dot)com


“...Nilla unloads smart rhymes with her sooty, sexy vocals...Here's an artist to watch in 2010.” - Fateema Sayini, Ottawa Citizen

“NiLLa (aka Galyn Esmé) a Canadian hip-hop emcee and producer, combines conscious lyrics with catchy hooks effortlessly, smoothly rapping and singing her way over synapse snapping beats - most of which she produced herself. Although relatively new to the scene, NiLLa sounds like a polished vet, presenting herself as a fresh influence in a hip hop genre polluted with bling, misogyny, and superficiality. She is a voice for the underdog, and will never be satisfied with the status quo.” - Beats In Key, Toronto

Wise-beyond-her-years, NiLLa has gained valuable insight and experience to lyrically draw from, as she has moved from the East, to Canada’s West Coast and back again. This up and coming emcee has gained much attention in the last few years, since dedicating wholly to her passion - music. In this time, she has shared some of her country’s top stages with a wide range of hip-hop’s finest, including but not limited to, The Alkoholiks, Masta Ace, Jus Allah, Zaki Ibrahim, WildChild, DL Incognito, Grand Analog, MiC K!NG, & Lee Reed.

These noteworthy performances, along with her independent debut album release in 2009, “From The Ground UP”, NiLLa received immediate praise from both local and international communities, for her refreshing lyricism and production skills.

“...From The Ground Up is as ferocious as it is feminine, offering a new lexicon thoroughly developed from Nilla’s own experiences...it’s that unique energy, education, exuberance and experience of one woman named Esmé that makes this record so solid.” - Ric Taylor, The View, Hamilton, ON

“This Canadian MC/ Producer's style is marked by lyrics with a conscious twang, an infectious voice, a laid back feel, understated choruses, and dark timbres...her laid-back flow is a great contrast to her biting lyrics...Nilla stays consistent and true to her voice through the whole album, letting her lofty thoughts arc through it riding an unbroken thread.” - IndabaMusic.com, NYC, NY

Upcoming musical projects for this unique emcee, include a wide range of collaborative flavour, true to her eclectic taste in music. This summer and early fall will have NiLLa touring, ready to surprise Rejuvemaple Leaf crowds and impress them with her lyricism and presence on stage. In the studio, she has been hard at work on a few separate projects. The first is with long time musical friend and producer, UnKnown The Pontiff (Toronto) entitled "The Big Teaze" which will be a 5-7 track EP released online for free in 2010. She is also busy collaborating with England’s own, DJ Rumage and punk/ska band Dodger’s, bassist, Luke Muldoon. These projects should whet any appetite and cravings her fans may have, before her second solo album is released in 2011.

When she isn’t performing, recording or promoting shows through her own events company, NiLLa Productions, she is actively involved within communities to positively influence the younger generations. Along with fellow emcee RaSoul, NiLLa co-founded “P.E.A.C.E.” (People Everywhere Actually Co-existing Equally), a world-wide movement focused on the necessity to spread messages of anti-violence and encourage positivity through the use of hip-hop music. Together, they successfully created a following that spanned the globe within its first few months. By running workshops, selling P.E.A.C.E. merchandise and organizing fundraisers, money raised by P.E.A.C.E. goes to further help those in need.

While unsigned, NiLLa has become one of the most dedicated, hard working, artists around - a necessary skill for survival as an independent musician. By carefully balancing on the industry tightropes, she masterminds and executes every aspect of her career by managing, booking and promoting everything she is involved with. NiLLa’s all-encompassing focus and creative drive is to make a life and career out of doing what she was born to do: inspire the world and span the globe with her music.

NiLLa is always open to new ventures, so please get in touch with her personally if you would like to work together/collaborate, and/or for show bookings.

Write to: sweetnilla(at)gmail(dot)com.

"Thank you for taking the time to read about how I came to be what I am today, and for your constant support in what I will become tomorrow."

Much Love, Respect, & P.E.A.C.E.

That's a whole lot of good words! I've been kicking down vocal tracks the past week and a bit for the Subs album, but instrumentals are forming as we speak in the corner of my subconscious reserved for such things. There's a velvet rope and everything.
