Iliana Eve is an American singer-songwriter who was born in Houston, Texas and raised in Louisville, Kentucky.[1][2] At 14 years old, Iliana Eve aka Ana got her professional start in the music industry with a single that was released through Snoop Dogg's record label Doggy Style Records called "Letters".[3][4] Celebrity news website TMZ released Iliana's "Kylie's Daddy" and it went viral.[5][6] She was a victim in a home invasion and kidnapping with her father Jonathan Hay in Louisville, Kentucky.[7] At 15, she performed a rendition of Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling In Love" on the album, Jazz (Deluxe) by Smith and Hay that hit #1 on the Billboard Jazz Charts.[8][9]

Career

In 2016, Iliana Eve followed up "Letters" with the single "Long Damn Time" with Kanye West's songwriter Cyhi The Prynce that premiered on The Houston Chronicle.[10][11] She's featured on "Split Paths" with Eminem's artist Kxng Crooked of Slaughterhouse[12] and "Lost Souls" with Nitty Scott and Pulse gay nightclub shooting survivor Patience Carter.[13] "Lost Souls" was released through Billboard on the six month anniversary of the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting. The remix "49 Lives: Lost Souls" was released on the one year anniversary of the massacre.[14] The songs appear on Iliana's playlist album, The Sins of the Father Playlist that was released in 2018.[15][16]

Iliana Eve and her sister DJ Hannahbella released a mixtape "Daddy Issues" in 2017.[17] The teenage sisters received some notoriety for their single "Kylie's Daddy" with 22 Savage aka Funny Mike for a song about Kylie Jenner.[18][19] Iliana and Hannah will be meeting their biological grandparents for the first time with news reporter Angie Fenton from Oxygen's "Finding My Father" on a TV special.[20] Iliana is featured on "Waiting", a song written about her biological grandmother and the last song recorded by United Nations honorary appointee Marsha Moyo.[21][22] Iliana performed on "Daddy's Little Girl" with Inspectah Deck from Wu Tang Clan.[23]

Iliana Eve recorded "Mommy", a song that takes a stand against child molestation with Jamaican record producer Kemar McGregor.[24][25] The single is partly inspired by Korn's song "Daddy" which addresses similar issues.[26] Iliana stated to Entrepreneur Magazine "Recording Mommy was a painful experience of reliving the nightmares and vocalizing them. The lyric that really hit me is 'the long showers I take that won't wash away the memories'. I'm hoping this song can make a difference, maybe even ease some pain that you are not alone." The song is being released on FM Records, an industry leader in pop-reggae music.[27] At 14, Iliana started her own record label, Drink The Lemonade, to raise awareness about child abuse.[28]

On June 2, Iliana was featured on the single "Too Ashamed" by Kxng Crooked that debuted on Billboard Magazine.[29] HipHopDX premiered Iliana's "All Alone" with frequent Lil Yachty collaborator Kevin Pollari who is signed to Rick Rubin.[30] Iliana collaborated with Slaughterhouse's Royce da 5'9" and Kxng Crooked on "Almost Paradise", a remix of the hit song from the Footloose Soundtrack released in 1984.[31][32] The single "Almost Paradise" was #28 on the Spotify Charts in Canada.[33]

In January 2018, Iliana performed on the single "Indiana" featuring Cyhi The Prynce[34] and she was a producer on "Jazzmine" featuring Riff Raff.[35]
