ILON is a singer-songwriter known for their emotionally charged music, blending Nordic authenticity with international appeal. At just eleven, they began secretly uploading covers and original songs to YouTube. It was their way of diving into the world of music as a shy, perfectionistic kid, dreaming of being noticed by a label. In 2019, that dream came true when they were discovered through a song they wrote about their father. Initially writing exclusively in English, ILON's single "Tobacco" became one of the most-played songs on Finnish radio, establishing them in the industry. By 2024, they expanded their artistry to include Finnish releases, starting with the single "PPP," which has since its release caught the attention of Finland’s most reputable radio stations, while staying true to their global sound. Drawing inspiration from artists like Veronica Maggio, girl in red, and LP, ILON’s music explores vulnerability and real-life emotions. Their voice and dynamic stage presence have made them a standout performer, drawing audiences in and leaving a lasting impression. In addition to their own releases, ILON has written hits for other artists, such as Mirella’s chart-topping "Timanttei" and Karl Killing’s Estonian number-one hit "Hoia End."
