Who I Am

      I go by the names "cillia" or "kyaami" online. I create original songs, as well as covers of songs using vocal synthesizers like VOCALOID and UTAU. I'm a 20-something college student, majoring in Japanese language and culture.

My story

      In 2012, I had a hit of luck when one of my covers suddenly got a lot of attention. This cover of "-ERROR" (original by vocaloid producer niki) resulted in me gaining many fans, and because of the influx of Japanese fans, I decided to start learning Japanese so that I could connect with them as well. I went on to take a few Japanese classes in high school, and then studying abroad in Japan for one year. 
      I grew up surrounded by music, but with distant feelings towards it. It was thanks to VOCALOID and UTAU that I was able to realize that music is something that I am passionate about. While tuning is something that does take time, I still find it fun and interesting and I hope I can continue this forever. With the support from many fans across many nations, I finally had the courage to try making my own song. I hope that I can keep creating music and that there will always be someone out there that will be able to have a better day by giving my creations a listen.
