ILA

ILA is the moniker of 25-year-old singer-songwriter Ilayda Cicek. Ilayda Cicek’s voice has a pleasant grain, a heart full of honest songs and two fine musicians to accompany her. What more do fans of PJ Harvey and Fontaines D.C. need?

In the autumn of 2021, their first EP ‘Montage’ was followed up by a mini album ‘Felt’. On this record ILA worked with producer Bert Vliegen and mixing engineer Michael Badger (King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Amyl and The Sniffers). In 2022 they won Studio Brussels’ ‘De Nieuwe Lichting’ contest and spent three consecutive weeks at number 1 in De Afrekening hitlist with their single ‘Leave Me Dry’.
