In 2008, he gets to meet Frederic Messel, CEO of Icon Records France.[3] This meeting led to the production and release of his debut album “Kairos”, published in 2012. Four singles “Avance” (4th), “Ce Que Tu N'es Pas” (7th), "A Califourchon "(6th)," Comme Une Trace "(8th) taken from this album will make it into the French iTunes Top 10. The art direction is entrusted to Marco Contini, who also works for other artists such as Irene Grandi and Marco Carta.[4] The album also gets a Japanese release.[5]

Later, Nyls released an English single, “It's Gonna Be Alright”, which only had a moderate success. The single is taken from his second album, “Nightlife”.

"Crazy" is chosen as the second single. The song peaked at position 8 on the French iTunes Single charts.

In December 2013, Nyls was asked to create and record the main theme for the movie “Dragon Nest”. The song is entitled “ Keep The Dragon Alive”.[6][7][8] In the meantime, a European version of the album is released. In 2015, his album Pulse was released.[9]
