Biography

There are lots of people who sing but not everyone has a voice. Apryll Aileen is a classically trained pianist with a touch of science & spirituality; an alt-pop soulful vocalist, guitarist and songwriter from Atlantic Canada. Sultry vocals and alluring stage presence make Apryll a fan favourite at music festivals worldwide. She transcends genres, creating her own undefinable sound with influences coming from pop, rock, electronic, folk and R&B. She doesn’t imitate – she creates. Studying classical piano since she was five years old, Aileen has since incorporated her classical foundation into the melodic pop music that pours out of her soul. It's been said, she's a hybrid of two polarities, blending melodic songwriting and vocal tones from artists such as Miley Cyrus and Adele but with the storytelling edge of Stevie Nicks. "It's not often someone comes to Venice with little fanfare and absolutely captivates a crowd with just a few songs, but that is exactly what Apryll did when she graced our stage. It's really saying something when you open for a pair of Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famers like Steve Ferrone (Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers) and Al Jardine (The Beach Boys), and everyone leaves talking about you! Local legends such as The Lennon Sisters, Teena Marie, Fiona Apple and P!nk would have been proud of Apryll that night." -George Francisco, Venice Sign Lighting (Concerts/Events)
