London-based artist, producer, and vocalist ILĀ operates at the intersection of quantum systems, AI, and human voice — crafting immersive sonic worlds that question identity, technology, and liberation.

A guest curator and artist for the Barbican’s Pit Party: Transpose, ILĀ brings together leading trans and non-binary artists in a night that fuses club culture, performance art, and choral experimentation. Their collaborative installation UN/BOUND, created with TRANS VOICES and MONOM for the Barbican exhibition Feel the Sound, received widespread critical acclaim — earning 5★ from the Financial Times, who described it as “the standout” of the show. The work continues on a five-year international tour, expanding its exploration of quantum sound and collective transformation.

In 2025, ILĀ and TRANS VOICES join HAAi on her forthcoming album HUMANiSE and the accompanying immersive live film at Drumsheds, performing alongside Jon Hopkins, Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip) and others. Later this year, ILĀ will release Quantum Computer Music, a collection of tracks composed using quantum processes, DNA sequencing, and hybrid AI synthesis — pushing electronic composition into new physical and philosophical territories.

As co-founder and director of London Contemporary Voices, ILĀ has collaborated with over 20 Grammy-winning artists including Alt-J, Imogen Heap, and U2, as well as the orchestral collaboration Florence + The Machine & The Jules Buckley Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall — hailed by The Guardian as “one crescendo of ecstasy after another.”

Following their debut album Mesonoxian, ILĀ was featured on Stet, the debut solo record by Guy Sigsworth (Björk, Madonna), alongside Imogen Heap and Martin Grech — further cementing their connection to the lineage of experimental pop and avant-electronic sound.

ILĀ has presented work and research at Harvard University, Oxford University, Technische Universität München, and the Berlin University of the Arts. Their audiovisual projects — including Daffodil (NOWNESS) and Murmur (with humanoid artist Ai-Da) — explore AI, grief, and consciousness through immersive sound design.

A member of Brian Eno’s Earth/Percent Music Committee, Senator on the Ivor Academy’s Future Sound Experience Council, and PhD supervisor in AI & Music at the University of Sheffield, ILĀ continues to redefine the intersection of sound, technology, and social change — creating work that resonates between the club, the lab, and the body.
