Eylsia returns with Desert Learns To Shine, a powerful new release that reflects resilience, transformation, and the beauty of rising through adversity. Known for her deeply personal storytelling, Eylsia channels a lifetime of experience into music that speaks to perseverance and renewed purpose.
Eylsia Nicolas, the stage name of Lisa Pamintuan, is a first-generation American singer-songwriter of Irish and Filipino heritage whose journey spans international tennis courts, executive leadership, and artistic reinvention. Once ranked globally in tennis with appearances at Wimbledon and the US Open, and becoming the youngest winner of the Irish Open at just 14, she later transitioned into the music industry after a career-ending injury.
Her professional path led her to serve as Executive Vice President at a record company working with icons such as Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Kenny Rogers, and Luciano Pavarotti. She later became the youngest president of a nationally accredited college in the United States while serving on multiple corporate boards.
Her return to music followed a serious health setback during the COVID era that impacted her vocal ability. With the support of advanced audio technology developed by Worldipi.com, Eylsia regained her voice and unlocked a new creative freedom.
Blending modern country, gospel, and contemporary Christian influences, Desert Learns To Shine continues her mission to create music rooted in hope, healing, and faith.
