Biography:
“I will go to the United States and have a music career there”, LiLi told her friends as she was just 14.
Singer-songwriter-producer LiLi Roquelin's clear and captivating voice enchants listeners world wide. Her talent to spin melodies around in her head until they become infectious and addictive songs brings the listener back for more and more. With her true, poetic and melancholic bilingual lyrics and the depth of emotion in her voice, LiLi stands as a musician who has a soul to share with the world. Often referred to as the hardest working artist around, her passion and determination provide her with the strength to achieve her dreams. She left Home -France- for Music... This fashionable female singer is known on the music scene to have a unique and beautiful voice with a sensual French accent that compliments her self written, catchy, yet deep songs. Her alluring character combined with her stage presence, her natural charisma makes her irresistible to any audience.
She has been doing music since Middle School: from recording lead and back-up vocals in solo or in duet for side projects or albums, to programming, and performing live with numerous bands. Her skills in PR and marketing support her constant presence in the music scene, getting press, TV, radio interviews and airplay of her songs in the US, Europe and Japan.
She proves her professionalism in Cleveland - home of rock’n’roll - during the recording of the album “Neverending Sundown” at Bill Korecky’s Mars Studio (Mushroomhead/Universal Records, Integrity/Victory, Narcissus/Century Media...) which led composer - producer Sean Bilovecky to request to meet her. She works with him on a side project and the song “I Saw You” is born.
After experimenting music styles (acoustic rock-pop, melodic hard-rock) she settles into an alternative trip-hop. Pushing herself to living music to the fullest, she moves to New York City and writes her own project in her Pro-Tools studio, alongside of piano workshops.

BIOGRAPHIE EN FRANCAIS:
« J’irai aux Etats-Unis et aurai une carrière de musique là-bas », LiLi dit a ses amis alors qu’elle n’avait que 14 ans. La voix captivante de l’auteur-compositeur-interprète-producteur LiLi Roquelin enchante le public du monde entier. Son talent à tourner les mélodies jusqu'à ce qu’elles deviennent entêtantes et intoxicantes amène l’auditeur à en vouloir plus. Avec ses paroles bilingues sincères, poétiques et mélancoliques, et la profondeur d’émotion dans sa voix, LiLi se présente comme une musicienne qui veut partager son âme avec le monde. On parle souvent d’elle comme étant l’artiste la plus travailleuse de la région, sa passion et sa détermination lui donne la force pour accomplir ses rêves. Elle a quitté son pays, la France, pour la musique… Celle chanteuse avec un goût pour la mode est connue sur la scène musicale pour avoir une belle voix unique avec un accent français sensuel qui complimente ses chansons profondes et enivrantes. Sa personnalité attirante combinée avec sa présence scénique et son charisme la rendent irrésistible à tout public. Elle fait de la musique depuis le Collège : enregistrements de solos, duos ou choeurs pour des projets secondaires ou pour albums, programmation, performances « live » avec de nombreux groupes. Ses compétences en relations publiques et marketing permettent une présence constante sur la scène musicale, recevant articles de presse, interviews à la radio et télévision et passages à la radio de ses chansons aux Etats-Unis, Europe et Japon. Elle prouve son professionnalisme à Cleveland - là où est né le rock’n’roll- pendant l’enregistrement de l’album « Neverending Sundown » au Mars Studio de Bill Korecky (Mushroomhead/Universal Records, Integrity/Victory, Narcissus/Century Media...) ; ce qui entraîne le compositeur-producteur Sean Bilovecky à demander à la rencontrer. Elle travaille avec lui sur un projet secondaire et de là née la chanson « I SawYou ». Après avoir expérimenté les styles de musique (pop-rock acoustique, hard-rock melodique) elle se place dans un trip-hop alternative. Se poussant à vivre la musique au maximum, elle emménage à New York City et écrit son propre projet dans son studio Pro-Tools, tout en participant à des ateliers de piano.

Je viens de Toulon, France at je vis aux Etats-Unis depuis 3 ans. La Mediterranee me manque et je retourne en Provence Cote-d'Azur tous les ans ou deux fois par an.
