Cecilie Maria Nielsen aka Cillë is a songwriter and glam rock artist on a mission to make sense of life through music, so that anyone who receives her message can feel a little less alienated. She is currently based in New York City after spending six years in Copenhagen and originally touching down, on this Earth, in rural Denmark. Cillë’s first solo release, the single “Kill or Be Killed,” was released in April of 2022, following a decade of fronting and writing for various rock bands. Most notably, Cillë was the lead singer, bass player, and main songwriter of the all-female rock band Taras from 2012 to 2016. In that time, the group released one EP and two double-signed singles (watch Taras cover “Sexyback”); they performed several large scale arena shows including Ballerup Super Arena in 2014; saw commercial radio airplay on MyRock by SBS Discover; garnered high-profile press from outlets such at B.T. and Gaffa; and made numerous TV appearances including popular Danish lifestyle show ‘So ****ing Special’ on Denmark’s largest television network, Danmarks Radio (DR), and a commercial for Royal Beer.
