Bilkis is from Leytonstone.. home of Alfred Hitchcock and David Beckham. She doesn't come from a musical family but created her first untitled vocal composition at the age of two. At the age of four she wrote her first song called 'Three Wise Rabbits', which was so moving it drove those who heard it to tears. At fourteen she and her friend decided to form a heavy metal group called 'Access to Insanity'... she then decided to get a guitar, so she could emulate her all time guitar hero, Slash. This proved difficult on her crap guitar from Argos, so she wrote folk songs instead...

Today she performs her music around London, and is supported live by Eve Robertson on harmonies. She also performs with violinist Nick Warner.
