KYŁO is an electro-pop artist based in Toronto, Ontario. At first listen she has been categorized alongside some of her musical influences such as; Banks and Abra, but when it comes down to it KYŁO carves out a sound all her own. Consistently creating catchy yet experimental tracks, she offers up sultry harmonies that are steeped in synth and reverb amidst echoey layers. Following her 2016 sophomore EP PHASES, KYŁO shows no signs of slowing down and is well on her way to releasing her third EP “Exit”, set to drop in the summer of 2019. In the past year, she has treated us to 2 singles: “Your Eyes”, and “Sometimes” – two chopped up echoy swayers that carried listeners through the summer before teaming up with Summer Hearts as his first guest vocalist on “Subside,” the 7th edition of his #12SongsofSummer Project. As a Toronto based artist, KYŁO has performed in various venues across the city including the Danforth Music Hall for NXNE, the Drake, and the The Baby G. KYŁO has been hiding away all winter, experimenting with a more raw, dark sound which she is excited to share with the world this fall.
