With the help of her team, she released her debut single with Discos Solcar titled “Tu Y Yo,” a cumbia from her upcoming debut album.
Since the single’s release, it has received a lot of positive feedback leaving fans wanting and anticipating more.
“First of all, a big thank you toTejano Nation, mainstream and internet radio for playing ‘Tu Y Yo’ and of course to all the Tejano fans out there,” said Ilyann. “It’s gotten a positive response, we tend to push the single out as much as possible.”
For future singles towards the highly-anticipated album, she would love to collaborate and encourages other artists to reach out to her or her managerJerry Bernal.
“I have a big diversity in music as many people say, ” she said. “For instance, I had covered ‘Eternal Flame’ by the Bangles into a cumbia rendition named ‘Algo Eterno’. If you haven’t heard it, I advise you to check it out.”

With her upcoming album that she has been working on for a year now, she hopes to continue to release music for her listeners that tell a story that people can relate to, and has inspirations from other artists and genres.
When asked about what she loved most about her upcoming debut album, she said: “I love the music in itself, how it moves people with my experience, It’s like bringing my stories to life and having everyone relate to them.”
Alongside the direction of her management and new record label, she built a great foundation for guiding her career.
“It’s a journey that I never thought I’d be in, but dreams really do come true,”she said.
