Kelly Liles (born January 31.), known professionally as Amilian, is an American vocalist who works extensively as a rapper.

She has also played extensively in the Atlanta area.

Early life

Born three months premature, Amilian has suffered from epilepsy from an early age. When she was five years old, Amilian's father gifted her a karaoke machine that kickstarted her music interest. Her early influences included various artists such as Britney Spears, LeAnn Rimes, and Judy Garland, inspiring her future diversity. Her enjoyment developed into regular karaoke parties with friends and family.

At the age of 19, a friend of Amilian suggested that she turn her talent at poetry into songwriting. However, before finding a footing in the industry, she married young to an abusive partner. Amilian has said that attempts to begin a career in music were repeatedly thwarted by this controlling relationship, with her husband's arguments, violence, and the deliberate breaking of equipment curtailing her asperations.

Career

Following the end of her marriage, Amilian moved to Pensacola, Florida, and began to release her music on Smule, eventually starting to record at Mix Perfect Studios alongside producer Theory Formed.

On January 24, 2018, Amilian released her first mixtape, Milli's World, which received just under 100,000 streams in just a few weeks. In September, Amilian released Swag Featuring Theory Formed, the first single from her forthcoming album.

Amilian continued to release music in 2019, releasing Hunnid featuring Theory Formed & Flava Hype in May. The song had been performed live the previous month at Vinyl @ Centerstage in Atlanta and was her first song to feature on Spotify . Her latest release, Bangaz, saw her feature alongside Montgomery, Alabama artist, Geezle; the track being released on June 15, 2021

Artistry

Amilian has a diverse range and has stated that she likes her music to "have a piece of her in it," the finished work coming in collaboration with Theory Formed, her producer at Mix Perfect Studios.
