18-year-old Nigerian-American Afro-fusion artist Nelly Ayla steps into the spotlight with her debut single, “Hear Me Now” — a bold, emotional anthem of self-liberation.

Blending Afropop and R&B, the track is a powerful vent against pressure, expectations, and outside noise.
Produced by Eminiezy, “Hear Me Now” delivers calm melodies wrapped in raw honesty as Nelly declares her decision to live for herself. “It’s about being fed up with the pressure to be who others expect you to be,” she says.
Born in Atlanta and raised in California, Nelly Ayla brings a multicultural edge and fearless vulnerability to her music. With this release, she invites listeners to embrace their truth and shut out the noise.
