A Conversation with Yssa

YSSA's Bio

I am a 14 year old singer/songwriter currently living in North Carolina.
My parents always told me that they saw something in me when I was very young, especially my mom. They always share the story of when I was 2 years old and our family went to a Christmas party. Everyone started to notice this child on the stage with a mic, that child was me, I snuck away from my parents to climb on stage and sing “My ABC’s”. From that moment they knew that I had a passion for performing. When I got a bit older I started entering contests and soon got noticed by a Performing Arts Studio called Nixpac. The studio helped to bring up my confidence in performing and singing and gave me the opportunity to travel and sing in competitions around my home island and even in Las Vegas. All of this eventually led to me joining The Voice Kids Philippines Season 3 in 2016. The contest was such an amazing and fun experience for me and though I didn't win, I did gain many supporters who I’m very thankful for. All of these experiences have helped create inspiration for the music that I write.

My heart is filled with a passion for singing and music and if it wasn’t for God, my parents, family & friends, and everyone who believed in me I wouldn't be where I am now. I am very thankful and blessed to have them in my life and because of them I am able to follow my dreams.

In March of 2020 I released my song titled “Girl Gang” It is about my girl best friends who are near and dear to my heart. They have always been there for me and without them, I wouldn’t be who I am today. In the song I say, “No one else can love you like we love ya”, because the bond that me and my girls have for each other is unbreakable and the love we have is never ending. We are always there for one another no matter the situation, and if you need us we are there for you. I'm sure a lot of teenagers can relate to having those certain people by your side.

My newest release is a song called “Glowin”. “Glowin” is about the feeling of falling for someone. It talks about the emotions you go through when you like someone for the first time and that feeling of wanting to be around only them. When this certain someone comes into your life, they are the reason that you feel like you’re floating. Just thinking about them can put the biggest smile on your face and just talking to them can make you feel all bubbly inside. They are the reason that you are “Glowin”.  Everyone has had this feeling at least once in their life, so it’s a song that a lot of people can connect to.
