Mystee // Fools Of Habit // Shoeshine Blue

Boston-born and Cardiff-bred, Mystee started as the solo project of singer-songwriter and seasoned front woman Ilana Held. Drawing inspiration from love and loss in the face of a long spree of bad luck, Held weaves an American folk mentality into her hook-laden indie pop music.
With years of performing across the UK, several thousand streams on Spotify, and a lifetime’s worth of misfortune under her belt, Held stepped out on her own for the first time in 2021. She saw Mystee as an opportunity to take control of her music, independent from the visas, lockdowns, and long-distance relationships that had plagued her over the past few years. Held has fought through fire to make it here, but every misstep is fuel for her music.

In late 2022, Held found bandmates Keaton, Josh, and Joey, by a series of unlikely chance, and turned Mystee into a four-piece. As a band, they draw inspiration from artists like Phoebe Bridgers and Soccer Mommy, but also dabble in the heavier side of indie rock.
