Nylon Pink is a rock band, and the self-described "only all-Asian American female band in the United States."

The band was formed in 2008 and based in Hollywood, California, started primarily by Kaila Yu and Katt Lee, and initially comprised Kaila Yu on the lead vocals, Katt Lee (aka Kitt E. Katt) on bass, Theresa Houston on guitar, TJ McDonnell on the drums and DJ Shy (Karen Jin Beck) on the turntables. DJ Shy eventually became an honorary member and would occasionally join the group from time to time, and rhythm guitarist Genn became the rhythm guitarist, with Kiki Wongo joining as lead guitarist and Deb on the drums. Then, the group became for the longest time a quintet, comprising Kaila Yu on lead vocals, Katt Lee on bass, Kiki Wongo on lead guitar, Jamie Scoles on drums, and Yuki Ito on keyboard. The group has since recently become a three-member band compromising Kiki Wongo as lead guitar and vocals, Katt Lee as bassist, and Yuki Ito (aka YukiBomb) as keyboardist and background vocals.

Their style has been described as "Hello Kitty on Acid" and Katy Perry crossed with Shiny Toy Guns with a Harajuku edge. A jewelry and fashion line inspired by their music is known as "Hello Drama," which was founded by Kaila Yu.

LA Weekly has called Nylon Pink one of Los Angeles's “sexiest, glitziest bands”,Reverb Nation hailed them as the “2011 Artist on the Verge,” and they earned a nomination for “Pop Artist of the Year” at the LA Music Awards.

They have also appeared in photospreads for publications such as FHM Spain,FHM SingaporeFHM Malaysia, and other publications.

They have also toured in Thailand, China and South America, with plans to tour the states, in addition to visiting Japan and other parts of Asia, starting in March 2013.
