Bay Area native Lilan Kane works the soul/R&B edge of the jazz continuum, her smoky, emotive vocals inhabiting a space between old-school and new. The sultry honesty in her voice is as raw as her lyrical stories of love, life and self-discovery. A graduate of the prestigious Berklee College of Music, Kane has sold out numerous residencies at Yoshi's Oakland and SFJAZZ as well as performances at Minton's Playhouse (NYC), Chris's Jazz Cafe (Philly), French Quarter Festival (New Orleans), Concord Pavillion, The Mint (LA), Fillmore Jazz Festival and many others.

Lilan studied with Grammy award-winning vocal arranger Donna McElroy and drummer/arranger Kenwood Dennard and completed internships at Atlantic Records and Jazz At Lincoln Center in NYC. Since returning to the Bay Area in 2009, she dove into her performing roots and created a name for herself in music and business.

As an artist, her vintage-tinged soul sound flows through heartfelt compositions, telling stories of love, loss, and self-discovery while they seamlessly blend R&B, funk, pop, and jazz. She has released one album and two EPs: Love, Myself, and Lilan (EP), produced by Michael Aaberg (Lalah Hathaway, Goapele) and Shadows (EP), a collaborative project with Cosa Nostra Strings of the Jazz Mafia family in October 2020.
