Biography
Ili (Emily Middlemas) is a Scottish singer-songwriter born 26 September 1998. She first auditioned for The X Factor's eleventh series in 2014 but did not progress to the live shows. Two years later, she returned for the thirteenth series under her birth name, where she was eliminated as the ninth contestant. In 2019, Middlemas adopted the stage name Ili (stylised in all lowercase) and independently released her debut extended play, Changes, marking her shift to a self-directed career. As a singer-songwriter, Ili performs, writes, and records original material. Born in early January under the sign of Capricorn, her artistic trajectory reflects the sign's discipline and gradual ambition—moving from televised competition to independent artistry. Scottish by nationality, she operates within the UK and broader European music landscape.
