In 2004, the song in French "Un Monde Parfait" instantly became a worldwide hit. The young singer confirmed to them that the world is beautiful, even if you look at it with adult eyes. The single was performed by 11-year-old Ilona Mitresi.
Ilona's single, based on a Neapolitan folk melody, first thundered in the Italian project "Tres Bien Featuring Ilona", from there it migrated to the top of the French charts. Stayed at the top of the hit for 15 weeks.
The path to the heights of success
The biography of the future star began in 1993. The girl appeared in the city-commune of Fontenay-aux-Roses on September 1 in the family of Daniel Mitresi and his wife Sylvia Gaultier, a musician and an employee of the publishing house. In addition to Ilona, the parents raised two more children, Miley and Nils, the girl's brother and sister.
The future singer showed early vocal talent. From early childhood, the baby participated in commercials that required the singing of a small child. Interest in the rising star was boosted by original clips. A charming cartoon with huge eyes has become a kind of ego of the performer.
They said about the vocalist that she sings naive childish techno-pop. Her songs are successfully stylized as cartoons for kids without a serious semantic load, because the baby's charm is not in her.
Coup
Uncomplicated creations against the background of the cartoon turned out to be strikingly memorable. Fans only some time later began to understand that Ilona is a mix of something elusive, endless positive and spontaneity.
The result was not long in coming: serious adults willingly listened to a single about a kind world inhabited by crocodiles, fat seals, and were fascinated by the dance of cute cows. It turned out to be not easy to break away from the drawn strikingly vivid image of the singer.
"Perfect World", included in the album of the same name, took 12th place in France in sales, in 2006 becoming the most profitable song. Nils and Miley took part in the recording of several of the sisters' songs.
On and off stage
The new disc of the young singer "Laissez-nous respirer" did not repeat the triumph of the first one. Nevertheless, her singles "Allô, Allô", "Noël, que du bonheur", "Dans ma fusée" continued to be successful.
With chagrin, the fans took the news of the termination of the stage career of the vocalist. The singer herself explained her act with a desire to devote all the time to her studies. She admitted that she cannot yet say for sure whether she will resume performances.
The girl loves sports, she roller-skates, snow and skateboard, and surfs. Ilona is good at fine art. Her hobbies also include travel, video games and comics.
The performer dreams of becoming a stuntman or starting a career as an actress. The vocalist is learning to play the saxophone. She loves listening to the rock bands Nirvana and the Rolling Stones.
