Tonia Cataldo, known as Nyya, I was born on July 17, 1999, in the province of Naples, but I grew up in the Caserta area. I started studying singing at the age of ten and have never stopped; in the meantime, I studied languages in high school and in 2020 I enrolled in the Conservatory. In 2023, I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Pop Singing and in 2025 my Master's degree in the same field. Since 2023, I have been a member of the Simply Singers Choir, a Gospel choir from Benevento. Since 2023, I have been working on my artistic project together with Lorenzo Maffia, my current producer, with whom I aim to release an album. In July 2025, I participated in the Fatti Sentire Festival (Festival of Emerging Italian Music) and won the Nuovo IMAIE Award for best performance. On October 4, 2025, I took part in the 25th edition of the Napoli Cultural Classic - Premio Eccellenze Plus World, held in Naples at the Sala dei Baroni of the Maschio Angioino, during which I was awarded as a Neapolitan Excellence in the Music section. On February 25, 2026, I received the National Award for those who play in Campania in Sanremo, on the occasion of its 5th edition. On March 28, 2026, I performed as a guest at the 46th edition of the Italian Song Festival in Liège, Belgium.
