Ilana May 🌹

Chicago musicians/vocalists! My name is Ilana and I sing cabaret. Whether you do Jazz, indie, singer songwriter etc., I'm looking to follow more live musicians! I want to start networking. 🥰

You're mostly likely to find me playing the drums. Here's a photo of me as Animal with the Lakeside Pride band last Halloween!

I don't have a lot of content under 60 seconds right now. But I started learning electric guitar recently, so here's me trying to teach myself a riff from What I'm Made Of from Sonic Heroes.

Entering into the vortex. On this day in 2019, we had a polar vortex on its way to Chicago...the city was already in a deep freeze as you can see from this image from that day. The temperature plummeted to a minus-50 wind chill three days later.

Love Uptown ❤️❤️❤️ Forever feels like home, even if I've moved neighborhoods a few times!

Do I want to sign up for another voice class next session at the Folk School? Or do I keep pushing through the guitar program? It's hard to know what I want to do more 😅

always a good day to buy your next read from an independent bookstore or borrow it from the library

I'll probably start matriculating my content from IG and Tik Tok over here shortly. Definitely don't feel good about posting anything new on a Meta platform any time soon.

I am going to explode 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

Hi there 🦋 users! My name is Ilana May - I'm new to the Chicago cabaret and jazz scene, and would love to connect with other people who share a similar passion. I'm working on cultivating my stage presence, and would love mentorship or a group to sing back up for!
