Your journey begins here.

 

NYMPHYA’s 3rd album and illustrated companion book, “WHAT HAVE I FORGOTTEN?” is a Progressive Art-Pop 360 immersion into the ancient relics hidden within all of us and is  AVAILABLE NOW!
NYMPHYA released her debut concept CD DREAM DANCE in December, 2017, which garnered enthusiastic reviews from an international audience, and her second album, NAKED KATE, an all acoustic anthology of Kate Bush covers, was released December 6, 2019 with the same reception. You can find both HERE.
Nymphya released her 6 song sampler EP, CURIOS  October 27, 2021. CURIOS features 4 favorite tracks from DREAM DANCE and NAKED KATE chosen by her fans, and 2 tracks from her 3rd album, WHAT HAVE I FORGOTTEN?  In October of 2022, Nymphya successfully crowdfunded the illustrated book, CD, and double vinyl album WHAT HAVE I FORGOTTEN?  project, her most ambitious to date, which was released in August 2023.
Nymphya’s most recent live performances were with the Point Arena Festival in April 2023 and the Hexenfest Festival in October 2023. A run of live UK shows for 2024 are currently in the works.

 

“What strikes the listener upon first encounter with Dream Dance is that it is at once challenging and accessible. . . An ambitious and well-crafted work, which provokes as much as it soothes. Sonically what has been created here sounds unique, an admirable accomplishment in and of itself. . . It asks much of the listener and warrants repeated visits. Dream Dance deserves to be heard”.  Rawckus Magazine – Chris Wheatley

Professional opera singer Valentina O is the eclectic and multifaceted songwriter, vocalist, arranger, and producer behind Nymphya. After a personal tragedy in 2006 when her fiancé, record producer Keith Keller, suddenly died, Valentina struggled to bring herself back to life from her crippling grief through music and spiritual practice. Using what Keith taught her, Valentina built her own recording studio in 2011 and began producing and recording DREAM DANCE as a tribute to him.

“On my 4th back to back runthrough of this album, I am really enjoying it. There is a lot of sorrow being released in “Beautiful Wound”; the multi-layered vocals are marvelous. The packaging is stellar;  I love the lyric book, and the artwork.  Nymphya has delivered in spades with this album. I will encourage my listeners to hear this through headphones. . . We have ourselves a celestial new age goddess.”  Deep Nuggets Radio – Steven Davies Morris

Up to then, Valentina had appeared throughout the United States as an opera singer, actor and performer, as well as on numerous soundtracks for television, film and commercials (Time/Life Warner, IMAX, and Garfield), and on multiple CD projects for recording artists, including backing up John Cale (The Velvet Underground) on the Tonight Show and appearing on MTV with her group Screaming Divas. It was with Screaming Divas that Valentina also opened for Todd Rundgren at the Fillmore in San Francisco and for George Benson at Villa Montalvo, as well as Dana Carvey at the Shoreline Ampitheatre.

“With this album, Nymphya has created an integrated musical experience with a beginning, middle and an end. Put the music on, and then sit back and listen, and you will soon have grown to love it, to crave it, to want to live in it. Nymphya creates a world that you can only appreciate by totally inhabiting it. This album has a beautiful, unique, consistent musical and emotional vision. . .she’s just so versatile and able to infuse each song with its own particular tone and timbre, that she sounds like three or four different singers all rolled into one. This is perfection at work. We may have waited six or seven years for this album to become reality, but it is certainly worth the wait. You get so swept away by the poetic beauty of the melodies, atmospheres, and moods that you forget about all the sweeping and genial electronics being applied in the musical arrangements, which in itself is a massive feat. What can more I say about this beautiful woman with a beautiful voice that hasn’t already been said? Breathtaking vocals, deeply stirring music, all impeccably produced. In a word – Spellbinding!”  Staff, TunedLoud

As the award-winning creative director and arranger of the San Francisco-based acapella cabaret group Screaming Divas in the late ’90s, Valentina won vocal arrangement awards and top honors in the Beyond Category for the SF Weekly in San Francisco, eventually performing for First Lady Hillary Clinton. She then developed an obtuse love for opera and launched her professional opera career, which brought her to the concert halls of the San Francisco Symphony, San Francisco Opera, Opera Theatre of St. Louis, and New York City Opera, among others.

Reviews in the press characterized Valentina’s singing as  “stunning, provocative and consistently beautiful”   . . .  “golden mezzo”. . . “gorgeous voice and impressive acting” . . . “brilliance and emotional power”. . .  and by 2015, Valentina was commissioned to co-write and musically arrange a cabaret musical based on the life of Edith Piaf, which garnered rave press reviews, extended runs, and a nomination for Best Original Script from the SF Bay Area Theater Critics Circle.

All of these influences feed her original compositions and arrangements for Nymphya.

“Spectacular. . . eclectic but not disjointed, musically fascinating, gripping and moving.The brief soundscapes are little gems of complexity. I think Broken might be my favorite. I have different images in my head every time I listen to it. Howl is also utterly amazing. Such a spacious mix, big and mysterious. And Chrysalis with the bells and plunky strings. Egad. Those miniature tracks are skillfully built, and placed in just the right places. What a spectacular idea. The vocal mix on Wasteland is especially brilliant. That track may be my favorite for that reason, although it’s very hard to pick just one. This is a truly extraordinary accomplishment and an amazing CD from start to finish.”  Author, Singer, Guitarist – David Gordon

DREAM DANCE features Valentina on vocals, guitar, keyboards, music programming, and percussion, Ray Schaeffer on bass, Anthony Flores on drums, Philip Everett on Electric Lapharp, and Gentry Bronson on piano and lyrics for four of the songs.

NAKED KATE features Valentina on vocals, acoustic guitar, percussion, and bass, Alex McMurray on vocals, acoustic guitar and ebow, and Jon Berger on violin.

WHAT HAVE I FORGOTTEN? features Valentina on vocals, guitar, keyboards, music programming, vocal FX and percussion, Francisco Vives on piano, keyboards, synth, music and drum programming, and percussion, Declan Masterson on Celtic flute, Maurice Dickson on Celtic banjo and Bohran drums, Ray Schaeffer on bass, Winter on electric guitar, Dwayne Trechuk on electric guitar, and Scott Kohlmorgen on drums.

Biography:

Singer/songwriter/multi instrumentalist NYMPHYA is a Cinematic Art Pop artist who creates modern music for the ancient and mystical in you.

She has garnered an international following for her alchemical Art pop music, which is a collage of eclectic textures, world beats and soaring vocals with mystical lyrics. “More of an immersion than a listening session” wrote Marc Farr of Rock and Roll Infinity. It’s music that reminds you of the otherworld, the mystery, and the magical currents that flow throughout, covering territories of mysticism, magic, and the transpersonal.

Prior to launching NYMPHYA, Valentina appeared throughout the United States as an opera singer (NYCO and SF Opera), actor (Magic Theater), performer and musician, guesting on numerous soundtracks for television, film and commercials (Time/Life Warner, IMAX, and Garfield), on multiple CD projects for recording artists, (Sky Cafe and Royal Fingerbowl) backing up John Cale (The Velvet Underground) on the Tonight Show, appearing on MTV with her group Screaming Divas, and opening for Todd Rundgren at the Fillmore in San Francisco, for George Benson at Villa Montalvo, and Dana Carvey at the Shoreline Ampitheatre.

NYMPHYA has released four albums, her most recent, WHAT HAVE I FORGOTTEN? as a full 360 immersion experience that explores not only the unusual sonic juxtapositions of NYMPHYA’S Progressive Art Pop music, but also how each song relates to the ancient practice of spiritual alchemy.

 

WHAT HAVE I FORGOTTEN? CD, VINYL, and BOOK

Along with the vinyl or digipak CD, NYMPHYA wrote and fully illustrated a 170 page hardback companion book for WHAT HAVE I FORGOTTEN? , as well as recorded hypnotic inductions into hidden inner realms with NYMPHYA’S spoken voice over ambient music; over 1 hour of additional recorded material set to through-composed soundscapes.

Her all original debut, DREAM DANCE, was released in December 2017, her all-acoustic anthology of Kate Bush cover songs, NAKED KATE, in December 2019, and her fan selected set of 6 songs in a sampler EP called CURIOS in 2021.

Since then NYMPHYA has built a global audience through selling her music through online channels, which supports her efforts as an Indie recording artist, and has accumulated over 1 million streams of her music on Spotify.

NYMPHYA resides near the sea and the redwoods along the craggy Northern California coast and her live “Outside of Time – Magical Music from The Dreamery” show consists of story, guided imagery, and poetry woven through a set of selections from all her albums: the acoustic guitar-driven Kate Bush material nestled between her original Art Pop of DREAM DANCE, CURIOS, and WHAT HAVE I FORGOTTEN?

NYMPHYA most recently appeared live at the Point Arena Festival 2023 and Hexenfest 2023.

Fans say:

Yay !! my Highly loved signed CD has arrived last night !! Awesome, Inspirational, Original, Emotional……..yes I cried in the middle of it . . . The best female artist in over 30 years. . . you are as unique now as Kate Bush was back in the 70s !! Your music is other worldly… It takes the listener on a fantastic journey through the mists of time. ” T. A. – United States

The music is fantastic. Every track on the album is excellent individually, and it easily bears comparison to more well known artists such as Kate Bush, Bjork, Tori Amos. In my view your album deserves to sell in the millions.” M. T. – United Kingdom

I have reviewed my previous top ten all time CD list and find that “Dream Dance” makes the cut! A sense of fearless transience flows through the whole thing end to end: lilting harmonies, multi-layered electronic drifting . .  .but above and beyond all that is your voice. It is so pleasant to hear a really well-trained lyricism project so effortlessly above such universal concepts.” J.L. – United States

My last CD was Kate Bush Before the Dawn and with this one the collection continues in the same spirit of music.  It’s stunning! There are very few albums I have played and on 1st play fell in love with it. The artwork is wonderful and it’s so imaginative. Even the frogs were against the window listening ha. Very difficult to find a favourate track, but Wasteland is special. What hits me too is the amount of instruments you hear, and they feel that they’re in the room. I have a 90s Technics system with big speakers and it flows out into the room. You should feel very proud of this stunning masterpiece“. J.D. – United Kingdom

“I very recently purchased the Naked Kate deluxe CD. I put it in the player straight from the packaging and listened to the music and song of the amazing Nymphya. It was like havin Kate Bush in the same room. The magical voice of Nymphya and her perfection and mastery of her instruments was instantly soothing, and when the last track ended, I instaRead more about review stating Naked Kate signed CD deluxe.ntly played it again. The music took me back to my teenage years when Kate Bush was always on radio and TV.
I would Highly recommend Naked Kate to anyone even if somehow they were not familiar with the unique song and style of Kate Bush herself.
This will not be the last Nymphya CD I shall add to my collection. Thanks for the personalised signed art card as well.”  M.V. – United Kingdom

“What a sensational album by Nymphya, truly a musical masterpiece of divine music and incredible vocals. On first listening I was totally blown away, although I absolutely love the other albums of Nymphya “Dream Dance ” and “Naked Kate.” I knew without a doubt I would love What Have I Forgotten, but I was astounded how it surpassed my expectations, an absolutely beautiful album. A musical masterpiece. I knew it would be awesome and it is more than that. Pure brilliance so beautiful so soothing. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Go get it.” B.F. – United Kingdom

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Marilou B
Absolutely amazing. One of a Kind! Best yet!

Nymphya has outdone herself. Music goes from rock to pop to gently mystical and back. Such a beautiful voice. The book is HUGE and a trip through the magical Nymphya mind and music. Had no idea such a great trip – CD and accompanying book – could even be done. In love with her brilliant companion, Owliver. Get this duo. You will be so glad you did. Music sticks with you for days which is, quite frankly, relevant and wonderful. If her other two CDs are brilliant (and they are), this third is beyond in a class by itself. So cool.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bob F.
A truly gorgeous book and musical masterpiece.

I absolutely love the What Have I Forgotten book, which is based on the album of the same title.

It is truly a beautiful, beautifully written with stunning illustrations and wonderful additions by OwlivorA truly beautiful book. Also included are the song lyrics with the meanings fully explained. WHAT HAVE I FORGOTTEN? BOOK
This book is a really gorgeous read, very thought provoking and accompanied by Nymphya’s guided visionary Pathworking’s which are very comforting, earth grounding experiences and expose great feelings of inner calming and soul searching and soothing. This is a book of learning and understanding, which I know I needed to read again and again to receive full understanding such is the incredibly descriptive experiences. Also regularly practice Nymphya’s Pathworkings as I felt feelings never previously experienced by me, such beautiful feelings they are. It you buy the album (which I truly recommend you do) and visa versa. Go get them for a sensational journey into a magical world. ✨️ 🤗💫💖

I expected the music to be ethereal, transcendental, beautiful. But they were also these great songs that got stuck in my head!” ~⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ M.M., fan

Once again there is another release from this wonderful musician. Having bought her first two albums, Nymphya’s newly released CURIOS EP was a must to have. Not only is the music cleverly and skillfully produced but the artwork is perfect, too. The new tracks do not fail to disappoint, especially Liminal which is so atmospheric with a Jeff Wayne feeling in places. Play this, and be taken on a musical journey you won’t regret. Perfectly produced with wonderful vocals. Nymphya always delivers! ” ~ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ J.L. fan

If you’re not already a fan, you will be but if you are then I think the real story, as it were, is the new stuff. I never ever look to an artist with any expectation that they will up their game or outdo their previous entries but for my money, Nymphya has anyway… There’s nothing for it but to close your eyes, sigh, and say oh yes, oh yes. I feel confident that will be your reaction to the CURIOS EP“.~ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ D.M., fan

NYMPHYA’S  SECOND ALBUM, NAKED KATE, AN ALL ACOUSTIC ANTHOLOGY OF KATE BUSH COVERS

RELEASED DECEMBER 6, 2019.  VISIT THE SHOP

 

“The CD arrived Saturday !! Those covers far exceed my expectations!! After several listens, I can honestly say as an avid Kate Bush lover, that your interpretations have
superceded those of Kate, And that is a very hard thing to do!!!!….100% better than I ever thought possible.” ~ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ T.A., fan

It is one of the finest CDs I have ever bought. the difference in songs the difference in the tones of each piece of music to the words ” ~⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ R.L., fan

“I am a huge Kate Bush fan. I find her music moving and haunting. I approach those who attempt to cover her music with deep skepticism. Seriously, how could anyone do what Kate has done? There have been some ultimate failures and some so-so attempts. What impresses me about this album is the attempt to stay true to movement of the music. No one can ever truly “cover” Kate, but those who understand Kate’s emotional connection to her music seem to be able to grasp that within their covers. The acoustic covers here give way to the lyrics and allow the words to flow. I am impressed with the cover album. No alternative motives here, just someone paying homage to Kate. Bravo.”  ~ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ E.C. , fan

” I appreciate when something is done well. When an artist truly loves what they’re doing, it shows. This shows your love for these great songs and Kate. Your thoughtful and beautiful versions of them is a great way to demonstrate your talent and a true tribute. You look for the beautiful and mystical and it is definitely reflected in your music. That is why it’s a pleasure to support you.” ~ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ G.P. , fan

“In a musical climate filled with re-hashed,cookie-cutter songs, finding an artist brave enough to follow their own path can be tough. When you do, it’s like a breath of fresh air. Enter Nymphya. who has put forth an album that defies all conventional labels. . . a journey deep into the soul and psyche. Written, produced and performed mostly by (Nymphya) herself, she pushes musical and melodic boundaries, keeping the listener both entranced and curious. While one may draw comparisons to artists like Kate Bush, Tori Amos and the like, Nymphya travels a different road, with un-expected turns and twists.  GRADE:A+  Marc Farr, Rock and Roll Infinity

“What strikes the listener upon first encounter with Dream Dance is that it is at once challenging and accessible. Its comforting warmth is full of unusual juxtapositions and unexpected flashes of darkness. The vocals on Dream Dance are pervasive and powerful, yet nuanced and affecting . . . An ambitious and well-crafted work, which provokes as much as it soothes. Sonically what has been created here sounds unique, an admirable accomplishment in and of itself. . . It’s hard to think of anyone apart from Kate Bush who could deliver a line with such twisted emotion and authenticity. . . It asks much of the listener and warrants repeated visits . . . DREAM DANCE deserves to be heard.~ Chris Wheatley, Rawckus Magazine

NYMPHYA and LACUNAE GLOW’S 2019 Single Release “Song of Sirens”
Song of Sirens

Lacunae Glow and Nymphya’s Song of Sirens

Released March 24, 2019, this Cinematic Art-Pop / Chillwave track ‘Song of Sirens’ explores the euphoric and ethereal nature of the feminine aspect that draws their partners into intimacy, diving deep into the metaphoric ocean of emotional connection, with mermaids representing the protagonists. Nymphya partnered with Australian producer Lacunae Glow for this special single release, and focused on creating haunting and beautiful siren vocals, blending with each other and panning them in the mix to surround you as you get absorbed into their underwater, otherworldly place of beauty, and ultimately, peace.

TunedLoud wrote:  Her music is stunningly beautiful – layered, clean, crisp, and dreamy, yet succinct. Her voice pierces the sound spectrum with pure crystalline force in a chilling hymnal-like aura that paints colorful strokes.

As with most songs that have such captivating appeal, `Song of Sirens’ isn’t an accomplishment strictly because of its words, voices and music, but because of the way that all the pieces fit together with those elements. This recording is a great example of how being generous with one’s music can come back in ways one might never expect. The to and fro recordings, between continents, which lasted 6 months, plus the combined vocal and musical skills of Nymphya and Lacunae Glow, deliver a rich and glowing arrangement that pushes the boundaries of each artist’s comfort zone.

“I have reviewed my previous top ten all time CD list and find that “Dream Dance” makes the cut!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐~ John L. fan

“The labels only tell part of the story: Baroque pop? Yeah. Folktronica? Yes. Soundscapes? Sure. Worldbeat? I can hear it. Avant Garde? Opera? Art-Pop? It’s in there. It is exceedingly difficult to summarize the amazing, immersive experience of this album. If I HAD to find a word to encapsulate Nymphya’s debut, it would be RITUAL. For all of the eclectic trimmings of each track are not the indulgences of a multi-talented polymath – they are the deliberate placements of a focused and loving High Priestess who wants to take you with her through a strange and wonderful journey to your dark side and then back into your light. Stand out tracks include the lush title track (Which Kate Bush really should cover soon), the 8 minute centerpiece “Wasteland” – a tour de force of modern classical that will have you shaking with revelation, and “Goin Home” with it’s rousing vocals and anthemic chorus. Each track here could host its own little forest of tags and still fail to describe the experience because the album is much bigger than the sum of its parts. “Dream Dance” is an astounding and outstanding debut from this determinedly eclectic powerhouse. Yes, it’s ‘Dreamy’ and it’s ‘Dancey’ and it’s also everything in between and its all AMAZING”.  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐~ Robert L, fan
