Early life
[edit]Iliona was born in Brussels, Belgium on July 7, 2000,[1] to a psychologist mother and architect father.[2]
She grew up and studied in the Brussels region at École Decroly, the same school attended by singer Angèle. From an early age, she developed an interest in music and began playing the family piano, inspired by her childhood friends who played. Around age 15, she started writing her first texts, which were not initially songs but rather served as an emotional outlet for expressing her feelings.[3]
At 16, she created her YouTube[4] channel and began posting videos of her compositions, handling everything independently in her bedroom from writing and music production to video editing.[5]
