Quilla Biography

Quilla is one of the most popular and richest Vocalist who was born on December 1, 1982 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Anna Luisa Daigneault, born December 1, 1982, is a Canadian singer, keyboardist and producer. She is also known as Quilla. Montreal, Quebec was where she was born. Her father is French Canadian, and her mother Peruvian. She is of Spanish and indigenous Quechua as well as Aymara heritage. Quilla is her stage name. It’s a Quechua word that means “moon”.

Daigneault was a graduate student at Universite de Montreal between 2007 and

2010. She specialized in the endangered languages of South America and vocal traditions. She traveled to Peru, Chile, and Paraguay on several field trips. On three occasions, she also visited the Peruvian Amazon to meet the Yanesha people. She worked as a field assistant on National Geographic’s Enduring Voices Project expeditions, and collaborated with indigenous collaborators to complete several language revitalization projects. Since 2011, she has been part-time at the Living Tongues Institute for Endangered languages. Her research has strongly influenced her music’s cultural content and otherworldly themes.

As a dance music vocalist, Daigneault is known for her unique lyrics and dreamy vocal style, which is soaring yet intimate and ethereal. Her lyrical content is influenced by her experiences traveling and researching different cultures around the globe. She views the dance music world as a catalyst for producing transformative experiences in people. She explores positive themes in her lyrics, such as healing, dealing with regret and loss, breaking through obstacles and learning to love oneself. In an interview with Neon Vision, Daigneault observed, “When I see my friends and family going through experiences in life, I try to take those emotions and channel them into meaningful lyrics for people so when they are on the dance floor, they have an emotional catharsis – that’s my goal.”

Following the success of “Walls”, Daigneault decided to broaden her musical horizons and expand her vocal range and style, studying North Indian Classical music with Sargam Shah in California, as well as opera with singer Elena DeAngelis in North Carolina in 2013. Daigneault found herself in high demand to record vocals, and she completed and released over a dozen collaborations and vocal features between 2012 and 2014. She wrote and performed the lyrics for Feenixpawl’s “Universe” (Neon Records), Jewelz & Scott Sparks’ smash hit “Unless We Forget” (Revealed Recordings), and she has written lyrics for many other international producers such as Heatbeat and Pascal & Pearce. She is a featured vocalist on Tiësto’s 2014 album A Town Called Paradise, on a track called “Close To Me” in collaboration with Tiësto, Sultan + Ned Shepard. She is featured on “To The Core” on Julian Calor’s 2015 hit album Evolve released by Revealed Recordings. She released several more dance music collaborations in 2016 and 2017.

Between 2007 and 2010, Daigneault was employed at Public Outreach, which funds humanitarian organizations like Doctors Without Borders or Unicef Canada. She met Ned Shepard at Public Outreach. He is one half of Sultan + Ned Shepard. They are rising stars in progressive house music (also called EDM). Shepard invited Daigneault to collaborate with him in the recording studio and write lyrics after seeing Pamplemousse Explosion’s performance in 2009. They co- wrote “Walls”, which was later included on Tiesto’s highly acclaimed compilation Club Life: Volume Two Miami. The album was released in 2012 by Musical Freedom and peaked at 16 on the Billboard 200. Quilla was Daigneault’s moniker for “Walls” to distinguish it from other projects. “Walls”, a dancefloor hit that became a worldwide hit was also a regular at Tiesto’s festivals and club sets. It was also a Canadian radio hit.

She also discovered a passion for music and was always searching for the perfect track for a gymnastics routine.

Pamplemousse Explosion was formed in 2006 by Daigneault and drummer/producer Sam Vipond. This cabaret-noise jazz duo rocked Montreal’s underground circuit from 2006 to 2009. They were invited to record a track at McGill University’s School of Music with George Massenburg, legendary recording engineer and inventor. Later, Daigneault formed experimental electronic projects like Feast of Spirits together with Oliver Lewis, a long-time friend and collaborator. She formed the electronic indie-pop duo Mono y Banana while she was in Lima in 2008 and 2010. Banana Lazuli was a psych-rock project featuring a rotating lineup of members. She was also the frontwoman. She performed as Banana Lazări at numerous local festivals and shows in the Bay Area where she lived between 2011 and 2014. She opened for Crystal Bright and Silver Hands on their tours of the USA and Canada. In mid-2014 she stopped using other monikers and performed only as Quilla. In 2014, she began her career as a DJ/live vocalist.

Daigneault performed a vocal looping show at the Center Camp stage at Burning Man in 2010 was approached afterward by renowned DJ Seth Troxler who shortly thereafter signed her to his label Visionquest. The label delayed in releasing her first album for nearly three years because the content of the album spanned indie rock, folktronica and piano pop, and was thus different from the rest of the label’s techno esthetic. In early 2014, Visionquest instead released a three-part special edition vinyl series containing tech house remixes of Quilla’s album tracks. The remixers included Ricardo Villalobos, Matthew Herbert and Craig Richards (DJ).
