Gille (ジル Jiru?, born 1987), stylized GILLE, is a Japanese singer originally from Saito, Miyazaki. She made her major debut in 2012, but had previously performed under the name TASHA gee.[1] Gille made a name for herself by releasing videos of herself singing English language covers of Japanese pop songs on her YouTube channel appearing only in sillhouette,[2] including some English songs such as "Rolling in the Deep", featured on her debut EP Lead the Way.[3] In June 2012, she released an English cover of AKB48's "Flying Get", and the group's creator Yasushi Akimoto remarked that Gille had a "diamond voice" and fully approved the cover.[4] Gille made her debut with the album I AM GILLE. in July 2012, which eventually became certified as gold. Her debut single "Girls / Winter Dream" was released that October, and was noted to sample O-Zone's "Dragostea Din Tei".[5] This was followed up by the single "Try Again" in January 2013[6] and the album GILLEsound Vol. 1.
