KYLIAN aka Emily Holden may well be one of the most vibrant artists around at the moment, both in sound and online representation. Bold, colourful imagery echoes her confidently alluring, electro-pop sound, part Haim, part CHVRCHES. Remind Me, her ‘debut’ track, is a five and a half minute journey through 80's influences, and a devilishly current, slick aesthetic, with her vocals and the rigid drumbeat taking centre stage, not to mention throwing in a couple of stunning string sections. A member of art-rock group Futurist...as well as being a classically trained violinist, it’s only a matter of time before the insanely talented KYLIAN is gracing the pages of all the hottest blogs. - Crack in the Road

Bio
KYLIAN is the merging of organic and synthetic, an exploration of the origin of sound and the possibilities inherent in those basic vibrations when augmented by digital and analog processing.
The solo project of violinist/singer/songwriter/producer Emily Holden, KYLIAN uses live vocal looping, beats, organic and electronic samples and processed violin sounds to create pop songs with lush textures, infectious beats and catchy hooks.
Whether performing solo or with her band (which often includes a five-piece horn section), the primal energy of her songs and her riveting trance-like state pulls the audience into her world.
Soulful but not soul, modern but rooted in traditional sounds, KYLIAN blurs the line between synth-pop and primordial ritual, and the result is powerful, edgy and earnest music that hits you squarely in the chest.
