Lilly Rikhter - Hotel Radio Paris - November 2022

Afro-house, exotic, sensual, carnal, melodic, this is what characterises the music of Lilly Rikhter.

Actress, psychologist and European fitness champion, Lilly is an atypical artist for whom nothing is impossible. Passionate about music since her youth, the queen of Gran Canaria's 2019 carnival is now making a name for herself as a DJ and producer.

Trained at the conservatory from an early age, she spent more than ten years learning music theory, playing the piano, the cello, and the bandoura (a traditional Ukrainian drum) and then also tried her hand at the lyrical flights of opera singers. Her love for music is not recent and crosses with her the decades and the continents.

A psychologist by training and profession, she knows how to read people as well as dance floors. Finding inspiration in her multiple origins and her numerous experiences in the four corners of the world, From Russia With Love is not just a film for Lilly, who is Russian by origin and now lives between Brussels and the Canary Islands (where she has been living for over eight years).

After meeting Jickow in early 2020, she decided to embrace her love for music once again by following in her husband's footsteps and becoming a DJ & producer. Quickly after followed her first dates in Russia and Belgium (Arma17, Fuse club, Mirano) and also scoured the bars of the Belgian capital. 

Promoted with honour from the famous Pete Tong DJ Academy, her first productions are coming. The first opus with Afro & Progressive House sounds is planned for December 2022 in collaboration with Jickow. Other productions are in preparation where she will claim her love for the Canary Islands.

The first feedback are appealing with Black Coffee, Blond:ish, Solomun or Booka Shade. Whether behind the camera or behind the decks, 2023 promises to be an explosive year for Lilly Rikhter.
