Nelysa Kay. Does her name ring a bell? If you’re not familiar with her then you better buckle up because this article is about to get wild! (Okay, just kidding)
When I first met her for an interview (unplanned), she looked so chic in her outfit, and portrayed the same warm-hearted image that she showed on her social media. The Malaysian social media influencer gave a warm smile, putting me at ease before I started interviewing her that evening.
Nelysa Nazrin or fondly known as Nelysa, first started her career in dancing before slowly embracing herself into the music industry. Back in 2015, she and her dance team, Chicaz, successfully won 4 YES at Asia’s Got Talent and even earned an exclusive interview for Asia’s Got Talent backstage.
She then started doing cover songs which eventually became a turning point in her life, where she and her friends were scouted to sing for an OST. Fast forward to seven months ago, she sang La Cremeria Bersama You alongside As’ad Motawh, Ellya Keesha and Fatin Afeefa, and currently is working on a song.
Okay, let’s dig deeper into Nelysa’s life, specifically something you wouldn’t find on the internet unless Nelysa told you about it, which even Google has zero idea about!
EAT, PRAY, LOVE CARAT
Maybe I over exaggerated a little bit with that title but hey did you know Nelysa is a CARAT? Like CARAT as in Seventeen’s number one fan?? Yeah that.
When asked about who her inspiration in the music industry is, she excitedly admitted that she’s a super, huge fan of Seventeen, a South Korean group that produces songs that work like a perfect pitch and their choreographies? Beyond amazing. All of Seventeen’s music videos will leave you captivated, hungry for more.
“Of course, I love Seventeen. I know a lot about other K-POP groups but what really tears Seventeen apart is how they are self-producing idols. Like Woozi, I really love how he makes Seventeen’s music, and the rest of the members get to collaborate on it. It really touches me because they are like close-knit brothers,” shared Nelysa, who's interested in seeing how other Seventeen members incorporate stellar ideas in their performances.
SARANGHAE SOUTH KOREA
South Korea is no stranger to the world. Globally known for its Korean wave in culture, foods and entertainment in K-dramas, K-movies and most importantly K-POP, it’s no wonder why so many people across the globe love this country.
You know who else loves South Korea? Yeah, it’s your girl Nelysa! The 19-year-old teen, who wishes to pursue her studies in South Korea, said that K-POP has taught her a lot of things. One that includes preparing herself before she continues her study.
“I love that K-POP itself has a lot of genres. I learnt their language because I want to pursue my studies in Korea, and it really has helped a lot. Even when I sing cover songs, I really enjoy myself because I can read and understand Korean lyrics,” said Nelysa, which made her feel accomplished and happy.
