Behind the artist name CEVIL says 24-year-old Cecilie Vahle from Djursland. The young – now Copenhagen-based – singer, songwriter and producer has been writing songs since childhood and spent countless hours in the rehearsal room in the attic of his parents' barn, engrossed in the many facets of music.

It was her own curiosity that drove her to launch herself into the next phase of her creative career. With an empty calendar after finishing high school, she started producing music, and with the help of stubbornness and natural musicality, it formed the basis of CEVIL.

Driven by a dream and a circle of friends in the Copenhagen music industry, it didn't take long before the need to move closer to the big city arose and in 2022 CEVIL moved to Copenhagen to get closer to the music. It was here that she met Birk Storm (PRISMA, Nicklas Sahl, Laura Ziani), who quickly became a close sparring partner.

CEVIL debuted in autumn 2023 with his brutally honest single "Don't Speak", which was described in a recommendation from GAFFA as:

"Sly vocoders, quiet strings and rock-solid vocals that speak directly to the zeitgeist and cement her as an artist we can't wait to hear more from."

Since then, the young musician has released several singles that have created a solid start to her artistic journey.

With his uncompromising pop music that has a touch of retro and hyperpop, CEVIL draws inspiration from many different corners of the music world. From St. Vincent til HAIM and Caroline Polachek, CEVIL's sources of inspiration revolve especially around the anti-fabricated sound that oozes integrity. An integrity that also clearly shines through CEVIL's own catalogue.
