Bio :

Hyleen is a young guitarist, singer/songwriter hailing from Cannes in the South of France. She has been gifted with a warm, powerful and husky voice that captures the heart of anyone who listens. Her music could be described as a unique fusion of Soul, Funk, Neo-soul, Pop with a touch of jazz and rich harmonies.
Hyleen is a self-taught musician who started playing guitar at an early age in her brother’s band. When the latter left home to study full time, Hyleen decided to follow her own path and be her own artist: she found herself writing and composing her first songs. Later on, Hyleen studied musicology at university and then
decided to attend the National Conservatory in Paris to broaden her musical horizons even further. For two years she honed her skills as a vocalist, guitarist and singer/songwriter. Whilst studying at the Conservatory, she started working on her solo project and debuted her new music to enthusiastic crowds across
France. Her debut album « U & I » was released in 2014 and includes amazing guests such as Omar, Frank-McComb and Chris Dave (Adele, Erykah Badu) on drums. Following this release, Hyleen left her native country to introduce her music to new audiences across the world, through a series of shows. Surrounded by her musicians Nicolas Viccaro on drums and Julien Boursin on keys and Moog-Bass, Hyleen has performed
in Japan, India, Polynesia, USA and many European countries. Hyleen has supported household names such as Jarrod Lawson, Anthony David or more recently José James.
