Born in Douala, Cameroon (Central AfriQa), Qilam Mayliyq was raised in Columbia, MO in the USA before going back to Cameroon.
His interest for music was one of a listener until he came to France to attend high school. That is when he started to learn how to play the guitar and swallow everything he could about music theory.
After graduation, he went to study Math and PhysiQs for two years then decided to change his directions in life and become a full-time musician. He then studied at the Music Academy International in Nancy and the Musicology Department at the University of Metz the year after.
Since then he has participated in many projects from guitarist in FAIRSTEAL (a Screaming Headless Torsos cover band) to singer in the classical Choir of the Musicology Department.
Qilam Mayliyq currently works on his solo projeQt aQoustiQ Reverie (nylon gtr, bass, vocals with a bunch of effects and a Loop pedal) and his trio QYISAN...all along with other projects you can know more about on the left side.
