About Me

aile

Hi! :D My name is "aile" pronouned L. It means the feather or wing in French. That's why I spell it with all small characters - because if you sqeeze the letters together, they look like a butterfly! ;)


I've released two albums and three singles (Please refer to my discography below) for BMG Funhouse. I've also had experience as a model for fashion and car magazines such as LUIRE, WOOFIN', LUXY. I have a goal of being recognized as a singer with the ability to sing all popular music genres without being categorized, and so in autumn of 2004 I left Japan despite some recording contract offers, and moved to the United States. I lived in NYC from 2004 to 2005, and now, I live in Los Angeles. I am constantly aiming to improve my music and vocal skills. In 2007, I joined the group APB (a jazz-pop group) as lead vocalist. In March, 2008, APB won the Best Live Performance Award in the DIG UP ARTIST USA contest sponsored by Hori-Pro Entertainment USA. I don't know what will be next, but I will continue to study, create and perform a lot more music in the US.
