CECILIA is an artist and composer originally from Kamouraska in rural Quebec, Canada. She
develops a singular soundtrack between dark fairy tale and poetic recital, encouraging a memorial, introspective and hallucinatory listening. CECILIA released her first EP 'Charity Whore’ in 2017 under Grooming Label, followed by her debut LP 'Adoration' via Halcyon Veil in 2018 and ‘Summer in Sexilia’ later in 2021 on Xquisite Releases.
Viewing sound as a deeply personal encounter experienced within the intimacy of the body, she
approaches music as a visceral, emotional, sacred tool to foster experiences of communion. In her electro-acoustic compositions and stage performances, organic and synthetic textures,
movements, and breaths converge, with her voice remaining the gravitational center guiding the listener through the edges of her dream-like visions, elemental romances and tales of loss, love and miracles.
After being active in Montreal, New York and Napoli, she is currently based in Paris. She has
performed at various venues around the world such as YuYu Club in Mexico City (Mexico), Forest
Limit in Tokyo, BNA Alter Museum in Kyoto (Japan), Gui Gallery in Being (China) Théâtre de la Gaîté Lyrique in Paris (France), Arsenic - Contemporary Centre for Scenic Arts in Lausanne (Switzerland), The White Hotel in Manchester (United Kingdom), the Laboral Theatre in Gijón (Spain) and MONOM, the Berlin's center for spatial sound (Germany)
