About Candis Nyte

Born and raised in Santa Barbara, California, Candis Nyte has had a love of music (especially for singing) for as long as she can remember. She has collaborated with such greats as original lead singer and songwriter for Dishwalla, J.R. Richards; composer extraordinaire Beverly Van Wingerden; the multitalented Adam Phillips; and the renowned Santa Barbara Voice Academy’s Karen Lytle.

Inspired by her own life experiences, Nyte spent over eight months writing, recording and producing her first self-published singles “Here We Are” and “Here We Are (Remix),” which chronicle her journey to find love. 

Nyte’s influences include some of the most amazing female vocalists of our time: the late Whitney Houston, Sarah McLachlan, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Billie Eilish. Males figure in too with bands like Coldplay and (of course) Dishwalla.  

“Songwriting, singing and creating music are such important outlets for me,” says Nyte. “There’s something so raw and personal about the whole process. My music is an extension of myself. I hope you enjoy it!”
