She joins Yolanda Maartens in the OFM Art Beat, not to sing the songs we all know and love but to talk about the songs she has discovered in her silence. In her new book she shares a raw, multi-sensory journey through fame, heartbreak, and spiritual awakening. 

From sharing stages with global icons like Andrea Bocelli to navigating profound personal loss, Nianell’s latest teaching memoir, A Song That’s Yet Unsung – When Nothing is Known, Anything is Possible, offers a deeply moving journey of transformation and self-discovery.

Blending storytelling with 30 original songs, the book creates a unique, multi-sensory experience where readers can engage with each chapter through music via embedded QR codes. At its core, the memoir traces Nianell’s path from international success, including her well-known hit Who Painted the Moon?, to a period of intense personal upheaval marked by loss, divorce, and spiritual questioning.

The book explores themes of surrender, reinvention, and choosing love over fear, encouraging readers to move beyond intellectual understanding and into lived experience.
