Neyla is cute and charming - she is immensely popular and well-liked by all those around her. She is bubbly and vivacious, she is the life of the party and everyone wants to be like her. Her songs are fabulos too.
Antonella Paracolli, AKA singer-songwriter and recording artist, Neyla, was born on June 2, 1984 in Naples, Italy.
Neyla's father worked hard outside the home and his wife was a devoted stay-at-home mother. Neyla’s three older brothers grew up to become hard workers just like their father. So Neyla worked equally hard to meet or beat the high standards expected by both of her parents and family members. In fact, she developed an affinity for music appreciation.
For example, during early childhood, Neyla picked up and played around on various musical instruments such as the cithara and saxophone. During adolescence, she kept up with trends in the music business by reading every section in a newspaper or magazine that she could get her hands on.
She made it a point to cut out sections from those articles and complied them into a professional reference catalog. Equally important, she backed up her affinity for music by taking several scholastic courses throughout her lifetime.
As a result of her courses in vocal music, Neyla aspired to become like Ella Fitzgerald, Patti Labelle, Billy Holiday, Dionne Warwick, Miss Elliot, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, among others. As a result of attending a superior performing arts school, there were also opportunities to perform as an actor in the theater.
This school of performing arts kept Neyla’s creative juices flowing. In fact, by age thirteen, Neyla was singing and writing songs proficiently. By age sixteen she was seeking out an agency that would allow her to travel as part of a touring group. A good agency is what would allow Neyla to develop the showmanship skills of a companion-singer.
Of course, Neyla’s family truly understood the path that she wanted to follow. And so, she was allowed to work with a talent agency of her choice at a young age. As a result, Neyla participated in regional and national contests and the audience always received her with deep appreciation for her voice and unique interpretation of songs.
Neyla’s participation with one agency led to an important meeting in 2005 with producer Marco Camasso, who believed she had a true gift as a singer-songwriter. Soon after this meeting, Neyla would sign a recording deal with Camasso's label --- MC Music. Their collaboration churned out Neyla’s first spicy hot music project.
