Kitchie Nadal

Kitchie Nadal is a Filipino singer-songwriter and guitarist who emerged in the early 2000s as one of the leading voices of the OPM (Original Pilipino Music) rock and pop-rock scene. She first gained wide attention with her breakout single «Same Ground», a track that became an anthem for a generation of Filipino listeners and helped define the alternative rock sound that dominated Philippine radio at the time.

Her music blends confessional, emotionally direct songwriting with guitar-driven rock arrangements, occasionally softened by pop and acoustic textures. Songs such as «Huwag Na Huwag Mong Sasabihin», «Bulong» and «Ligaya» showcase her ability to move between anthemic rock choruses and more intimate ballads, often exploring themes of heartbreak, resilience and self-reliance.

Over the years Nadal has remained a respected figure in the Philippine music industry, valued both as a performer and as a songwriter, with a catalog that continues to resonate with fans of Pinoy rock. Her work helped pave the way for other female rock artists in the OPM landscape.
