their own biography
the whole biography
Compelled by collectivity, spirituality, and care, Alif Hilal (fka Lyra Pramuk) conjures a rare form of devotional music. The Berlin-based, American multidisciplinary artist—vocalist, producer, composer, DJ, performance artist, and astrologer—merges the limitless potential of the human voice with the magic of technology. Classically trained and raised in Berlin’s club scene, Alif\s genre-fluid sound, rooted in improvisation, experimental techniques and left-field electronics, has earned acclaim from diverse outlets including Pitchfork, Mixmag, and Vogue. Her 2025 album Hymnal—a book of transformational worship songs—explores the ecstatic genesis of sacred rituals, expanding the themes of her celebrated 2020 debut Fountain (Bedroom Community). Sought after in various musical worlds, Alif has collaborated with Moses Sumney and Sam Smith in a reimagining of Sylvester’s “You Make Me Feel” and has worked closely with Holly Herndon, Caterina Barbieri, Colin Self, and Ben Frost. As a live performer, she shapes her shows into collective rituals, which she has staged across the globe at Pitchfork Festival London, MoMA PS1, Sonar, Club to Club, and Unsound Adelaide—upcoming performances include Roskilde, Rewire, and Nuits Sonores. She recently founded pop.soil, an experimental hub and label that nurtures artistic growth, collaboration, and exchange through digital content, releases, events, and an NTS radio show.Their RA profile lists Bedroom Community, Modern Obscure Music and 7K!.Recently at OHM, Bar Neun, ZENNER · often with Patrick Shiroishi, Gabriel Jermaine Vanlandingham-Dunn, Amelia Holt, none of them here that night
