We recently connected with Nylon Keies and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Nylon thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?
Being an Entertainer is hard work and dedication and you just never know if you will get the one viral moment or the one rare opportunity to be heard and noticed. So, I feel like putting all my eggs in one basket could be considered risky. However, for me it’s worth it because I know that I was born to sing. All my life I never saw anything other then being an artist for me. I believe that without risk there is no reward. You can’t touch the world standing in one spot. My parents taught me how to lean into Faith and take chances if I believed it was best for me and that’s what I’m doing. I’m taking chances, setting goals and reaching them one step at a time. Nylon Keies is a worldwide artist and I plan on touching the world
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
The most rewarding part about being an artist is the opportunity to connect and inspire others. I definitely would like to use my talents to make the world a better place.
How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?
The pandemic changed my life in many ways. I had to learn how to record myself at home and that changed the way I looked at music. It helped me understand and appreciate my music even more. Also, prior to the pandemic I was in a sister girl group called 3 Keies. I feel like because of a lot of changes that happened and the financial stress we my sisters and I had to separate from the group. That was a very hard decision but I adapted and will continue to grow.
