Sheila and Nazty Dee New Song "Kahit Malayo"

Sheila and Ilonggo rapper Nazty Dee recorded a collaboration track entitled "Kahit Malayo" in 2010. The song written by Nazty Dee was supposed to be the second single release after Sheila's first Ilonggo hit song "Ginpalangga." The song was heavily promoted by Sheila and Nazty by performing it live at itravel Philippines Magazine launching in SM City Iloilo, GMA Iloilo's morning show "Arangkada" and Camella Iloilo event at Westown Hotel way back in 2010. According to Nazty Dee, the song talks about Filipino families who were separated because the parents had to work in other countries away from their children just to ensure a better future for them. The song is basically an expression of loneliness and missing a loved one, a reflection of the lives of OFWs. This year, RSLPhoenix finally decided to post the song in Sheila's youtube channel hoping that this ballad rap song will be appreciated by music lovers. Special thanks to Nazty Dee for writing the song and performing it with Sheila.

Sheila at Music Clinic

 Before Sheila Barrios became an Ilonggo music artist in 2010, she has been dedicating her talent in church music and praising God. Her musical upbringing was mostly influenced by church choir and it is where she honed her unique vocal gift. Lately, she has been active in sharing her talent once again by taking part in their annual church youth activity called Music Clinic 2013. Together with fellow Ilongga Diva Irish D., they were part of the church youth group that share their talents in various activities--vocal trio, christian pop dance, group singing, battle of the bands, music video making and a lot more. She's always been grateful to God for giving her so much blessings in life and a chance to inspire other people through her music.

Encounter with a Pop Songstress

Ilonggo singer, Sheila Barrios was recently interviewed for a thesis documentary project by Mary Rose Burdan, a graduating Mass Communication student from the West Visayas State University. She got interested with Sheila and her Ilonggo songs who got popular in local FM radio all over Western Visayas since 2010. Sheila will be her topic for her important thesis that would tackle the life and dreams of a simple Ilongga girl who instantly got popular with her relevant Ilonggo love songs. Sheila enjoyed pouring her heart in any interview she did.
