“Much of her tonal presence shaping the mood of the song as a whole.

Everyone has challenges, and The Nileram (Nah-Lee-Ram) is no exception.Her battle with SLE Lupus and other auto immune illnesses has affected her journey as a music artist. She is not deterred, and hopes to inspire others who
suffer with chronic illnesses.
The Truth Changes Color... EP is her 2024 release. It has been a long time coming for the songstress. It is a well deserved accomplishment, and a testament to the power of self belief, faith and determination. The Nileram maybe late to the party, but she's brought a lot of gifts with her.
