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 based in New York City after spending six years in Copenhagen and originally touching down, on this Earth, in rural Denmark.
Cillë released her debut single, “Kill or Be Killed,” an uptempo, ironically feel-good glam rock track about toughening up in the name of love, in April 2022. Before that, she spent more than a decade fronting different rock bands, most notably she was the lead singer, bass player, and a songwriter of the all-female rock band Taras from 2012 to 2016.
With Taras, Cillë released one EP and two double-singles. The group performed at several large scale arena shows including Ballerup Super Arena in 2014; saw commercial radio airplay on MyRock by SBS Discovery; garnered high-profile press from outlets such at B.T. and Gaffa; and made numerous TV appearances including popular lifestyle show ‘So ****ing Special’ on Denmark’s largest television network, Danmarks Radio (DR), and a commercial for Royal Beer.
