PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL / ACCESS Newswire / January 6, 2026 / In a year defined by unexpected breakthroughs in independent music, few stories captured global attention like that of Eylsia Nicolas, the Irish‑Filipina, first‑generation American artist whose comeback defied medical predictions, industry expectations, and the limits of vocal science.

Born Lisa Pamintuan, Eylsia closed 2025 as one of the fastest‑emerging artists in Indie Chart history - a trajectory made even more remarkable by the fact that, just two years earlier, she had been told she might never sing again.

A Voice Once Silenced - Then Scientifically Restored

After a severe COVID‑related illness damaged her vocal function, Eylsia's prognosis was bleak. But working with Dr. Gregory Levitin, a leading respiratory specialist, and a team of scientists from her technology company WorldIPI.com, she helped pioneer a hybrid approach using sound‑restoration engineering and AI‑assisted vocal rehabilitation. In December 2025, she was awarded a U.S. patent as co‑inventor of a new 3D sound technology, marking one of the rare intersections of medical recovery, music, and intellectual property innovation.

A Historic Indie Chart Run

Between July 5 and December 31, 2025, Eylsia wrote and recorded 93 original songs. The results were unprecedented:

• 80% charted on the Groover Indie Charts

• 50% reached the Top 10 Singer‑Songwriter Chart

• 10% hit #1

• Millions of streams across platforms

• 1.3 million new social media followers

• Over 1,000 indie magazine features, with critics comparing her vocal power to Celine Dion and Cher

Her momentum culminated in major recognition:

• Best Pop Song of 2025 - GlacerFM Listener Awards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WumXYi-ATM8&list=RDWumXYi-ATM8&start_radio=1

• Best Artist of 2025 Nominee

• Featured in the Grammy Edition of Billboard and the Billboard Year‑End Wrap‑Up

• Billboard independently highlighted her Listener Award win in two subsequent bulletins

• Her Filipino fan base mobilized over 100,000 votes, demonstrating her growing international reach

A Life Marked by Reinvention

Eylsia's artistic rise is the latest chapter in a life defined by resilience. A former tennis prodigy, she played her first international tournament at age 10, won the Irish Open at 14, and later competed at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open under the mentorship of Hall of Famer Nick Bollettieri. Injuries ended her athletic career early, redirecting her toward academics, law, and eventually the entertainment and technology sectors.

By her twenties, she was running retail and entertainment operations in Hollywood, working with A‑list talent, major studios, and global brands. But the pressures of that world led to a personal crisis and a period of recovery that reshaped her life's direction. She later became one of the youngest college presidents in U.S. history before founding Nicolas of Palm Beach, a luxury brand, and acquiring the legacy Real Boxer apparel line, where she filed patents for stretch‑seam technology.

COVID halted everything - until her voice returned.

2026: A Year of Acceleration

If 2025 was the comeback, 2026 is the expansion.

Eylsia will launch:

1. A Global Biography Tour

Her forthcoming memoir - published under the Pirate Broadcasting Network Press - will anchor a multi‑city tour sponsored by Nicolas of Palm Beach.

2. A New "Tonight‑Format" 20‑Minute Show

Registered with the Writers Guild and USPTO, the show introduces a hybrid format where Eylsia appears alongside a younger digital avatar capable of interviewing guests, performing, and singing her catalogue without complex equipment.

3. The Eylsia Nicolas Global Youth Music Contest

Beginning in the Philippines and expanding worldwide, young singers will compete using her vocal stems, with winners receiving cash prizes, royalties, radio exposure, and chart‑promotion support. The contest will also generate original content for the Pirate Broadcasting Network.

4. International Pop‑Up Stores

Her luxury line will debut pop‑ups in Milan, Paris, and London, integrating fashion, music, and live performances from contest winners.

5. A Film Script and New Publishing Projects

Discussions are underway for a feature film adaptation of her biography. She will also release The Science of Self‑Improvement, a book and college curriculum under the Pirate Broadcasting Network.

6. Expansion of Her Luxury Brand

Nicolas of Palm Beach will introduce cosmetics, apparel, and new patented technologies across its product lines.

A Rising Artist With a Global Blueprint

Eylsia Nicolas enters 2026 not simply as an indie success story, but as a multidisciplinary creator whose work spans music, science, fashion, education, and media innovation. Her journey - from prodigy to executive, from crisis to reinvention, from silence to chart‑topping artist - positions her as one of the most compelling emerging voices of the year.

"My story isn't about a comeback," Eylsia says. "It's about proving that reinvention is possible at any moment in life."
