Milyma

Born in Mannheim to Spanish parents, multilingual multi-instrumentalist, singer and producer Milena Mayordomo aka MILYMA now lives in Basel.

Her intricate and stirring productions explore the experimental boundaries of pop and are reminiscent of both hip-hop and classical music. MILYMA is a master of her craft. Her ability to create her own worlds - both with music and visuals - puts her in a league of her own with avant-pop artists like FKA Twigs, Bat for Lashes, The Knife or Smerz.

Originally, dancing led her to listen to electronic hip-hop instrumentals and learn the history of dance styles and music. During her childhood and adolescence, she played classical piano and began experimenting with music software. At the age of 18, she bought her first synthesizer. With these instruments and devices she accompanies her voice in a gentle way. For a long time she refused to work with other producers and did not want to be dependent on other musicians. So she gradually found her way into the production of her own music and has created her own musical world in recent years.

MILYMA sounds like the strangely beautiful guest student who will never arrive and leave again next summer - without ever having shed her indefinable accent.
