From Tennis Champion to Record-Label President

Pamintuan became president of the record label Deco Disc. Deco Disc partnered with Mitsui & Company and with Handleman, then the largest audio and video distributor in the United States. Deco Disc also partnered with Westwood One, the radio network founded by Norm Pattiz, then owner of the Mutual Broadcasting System and the NBC Radio Network. Her patented format was used by most major record labels, including Sony, BMG, Capitol Records, Motown and Universal, and by many of the world's largest stars.
Hollywood, Recovery and Reinvention
In her mid-twenties, Pamintuan had a Hollywood penthouse that was home to many celebrities. She fell victim to Hollywood's excesses and was hospitalized, then went to rehab. She then opened a school in the People's Republic of China. She later became president of New York College of Health Professions.
Pamintuan launched the fashion line Nicolas of Palm Beach. She redeveloped and now owns the legacy brand Real Boxer, which features patent-pending seam technology. She also took over WorldIPI.com, an intellectual property research and development company with hundreds of patents worldwide. WorldIPI.com patents have opened several billion-dollar industries.

In Their Words
"Thank you, President Pamintuan - or as I always used to call you, Lisa. I want you to know how incredibly proud I am of what you've accomplished, and your willingness to share your unique gifts and talents with others."
- Nick Bollettieri (1931-2022), Founder, Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy; International Tennis Hall of Fame inductee and legendary coach to ten world No. 1 players including Andre Agassi, Boris Becker, Martina Hingis, Venus Williams and Serena Williams
"There are people in this world who respond to adversity by retreating into what is familiar, and there are people who respond by forging ahead into something new - something that did not exist before they willed it into being. Lisa Pamintuan forges ahead. She became one of the youngest female college presidents in this country through sheer force of spirit and leadership, and that was only one chapter in a life of many. Every chapter has been a commitment to creating, to growing, to rising into the highest possibility of what that moment demanded. I was fortunate to stand beside her for one of those chapters, and what I witnessed was a spirit that simply would not yield."
- King V. Cheek, Jr., MA, JD, LL.D., LHD, lifelong educator who served as President of Shaw University, Morgan State University, The Union for Experimenting Colleges and Universities (Union Institute) and New York College of Health Professions
"Eylsia is a breath of fresh air. She lives and breathes creativity and I love the passion she brings to her music. She is a survivor who has overcome obstacles along the way that has culminated in a unique ability. Even after a year of hearing her songs she always leaves me thirsty for more. It's so refreshing to find an artist that not only has the talent but is committed to doing all the work that is necessary nowadays to get her music heard."
- Tony Michaelides, veteran music executive, broadcaster and artist-development strategist whose interviews and early championing helped propel U2, David Bowie, Peter Gabriel and The Police to global audiences; host of the Moments That Rock podcast; TEDx speaker; author of Insights from the Engine Room
Eylsia Nicolas also thanks the hundreds of journalists, radio stations and playlist curators around the globe who have written about her and played her music.
