Nia Tyler

Nia Tyler is from Ammanford, Carmarthenshire and is a fluent Welsh speaker. Nia Tyler takes inspiration
from pop, soul, a little sprinkle of country and loves a power ballad.

In her third year of studying Psychology at University, Nia had a stroke. This led to her becoming somewhat of an advocate for other stroke survivors living with acquired brain injuries. Nia decided to follow her true passion of singing after witnessing how short life could be.
