Born in Brussels at the turn of the millennium, Iliona grew up without a fuss, apart from the ones she wrote alone in the evenings. She composes and produces solo tracks, and attracts attention with her ballad “Moins Joli”. Two EPs followed, already illustrating the range of styles Iliona can deploy, from deconstructed bedroom pop to sixties homage: Tristesse (2020) and Tête Brûlée (2022). After confirming her comeback with the tracks “Le Lapin”, “Stp” and “Rater une rupture pour les nuls”, Iliona announces the release of her debut album ‘What if I break up with you?’, to be released on March 14, 2025.
