Hillary Zhuner, known artistically as "Ilandria," is an Ecuadorian singer-songwriter, composer, and visionary creator based in the vibrant heart of New York City. Born in Ecuador and raised in Miami, she has crafted a dynamic fusion of jazz, pop, electronic, and Latin sounds that transcends conventional genres, creating a fantastical production that’s uniquely her own.

​

From a young age, Ilandria’s artistic spirit shone brightly. She charmed friends and family with her musical impersonations, often feeling like a “Rock Star,” thanks to her grandfather’s playful support. Her musical journey began with the violin, leading her to discover her powerful voice and lyrical depth. Influenced by icons like Shakira, JLO, and Ricky Martin, she developed a passion for performance.

​

At just three, her family relocated to Miami, where Ilandria completed her education and began honing her craft. She picked up the guitar in fourth grade and found her calling in musical theater, becoming the star of various productions. In her teens, she drew inspiration from artists like Avril Lavigne and Queen, blending these influences into her evolving style.

​

With her stage name "Ilandria," she embraces an extra-sensory approach to art, combining vibrant colors and retro vibes to create a mesmerizing experience. After studying at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, she fell in love with jazz, drawing inspiration from legends like Caterina Valente. Additionally, she channels the innovative spirit of Laurie Anderson, using vocal manipulation to shift into diverse characters, enriching her performances with layered storytelling.

​

Now, Ilandria is pioneering a groundbreaking online series called "The Trinity Zone." This innovative project, inspired by The Twilight Zone, explores a surreal realm where the creative power of spiders and the symbolic trinity of life intertwine. As the cosmic matriarch, Ilandria shapes this mystical universe through her music, storytelling, and character transformations, inviting viewers to experience the birth of new moons and the intricate worlds they hold.
