Kitchie's massive popularity in the pop-rock niche grew after releasing the soaring single, Huwag na Huwag Mong Sasabihin. The album has since achieved double platinum status (over 80,000 copies sold) and hailed as one of the most successful albums released by a female artist of all time.
Kitchie’s exceptional song writing skills was duly recognized by local Philippine networks, who tapped her to create the TV themes of several popular soaps like I Love New York, Rounin and Majika. She has also appeared in several tribute albums for legendary musicians in the Philippine scene.
In 2005-2007, Kitchie began touring outside the country, spreading her music to places as far as Japan, HongKong, Korea, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, India, Sydney, Qatar, Canada, Taiwan and the United States. It was a two-way process, and Kitchie accounts her current sound to the vast cultural influences encountered in her travels.
Kitchie has began releasing song samples to international listeners, and receiving outstanding feedback and reviews. Her songwriting has been described “agonizingly beautiful” and her songs “completely flawless.” The young musician continues to do live gigs in the Philippines, while also collaborating with both local and foreign artists.
Hailed for her beautifully haunting vocals and song writing strength, Kitchie Nadal continues to expand her fan base with new songs: Firefly, Wide Awake, Grace and Armour Bearer. This 26-year old musician is finishing her 2nd full length album entitled “Love Letters”, one highly anticipated since her last release in 2004, the hugely successful “Kitchie Nadal.” Her 2nd album which has 14 tracks is due to be released on March, 2008.
