Ileana Mercedes Cabra Joglar (Latin American Spanish: [ileˈana meɾˈseðes ˈkaβɾa xoˈɣlaɾ]; born April 28, 1989), known professionally as Ile (stylized as iLe), is a Puerto Rican singer and songwriter. She began her musical career during her teenage years as a backing vocalist for Calle 13 under the stage name PG-13, a group she took part in for 10 years alongside her brothers René Pérez Joglar (Residente) and Eduardo Cabra Martínez (Visitante).
Her debut solo album, Ilevitable was released in June 2016. It won a Grammy in the category Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album in 2017. For it, Ile was also nominated for the Latin Grammy Awards as "Best New Artist".
Ile has performed in Puerto Rico, the United States, and Europe.
Ileana Mercedes Cabra Joglar is the daughter of Flor Joglar de Gracia, an actress who formed part of the theatre troupe Teatro del Sesenta. Her father, José Cabra González is a creative advertiser and musician. From a very young age, Cabra showed great interest in music. She began to sing even while still learning how to speak, phonetically imitating the voices of famous singers or movie soundtracks that appealed to her. During this time, she would often sing at private parties and family gatherings.
While attending Josefita Monserrate de Sellés elementary school, she joined the School Choir and the Handbell Choir headed by Evangeline Oliver. For eight years, she studied piano at El Conservatorio de Música de Puerto Rico. Cabra inherited her voice from her mother and her grandmother, Flor Amelia de Gracia, teacher, and composer, who is also featured on the back cover of Calle 13's self-titled debut album. At age 16, as a second year high school student, her brother Residente picked her up one day after class and asked her to sing "La Aguacatona", a song he had written for a demo he was working on with her brother Visitante. She began to take private singing lessons with renowned Puerto Rican soprano Hilda Ramos and then additional vocal studies with Cuban singer Gema Corredera, a member of the group Gema y Pavel.
From that point on, she began to collaborate as a vocalist for her brothers' new musical project. "La Aguacatona" caught the attention of White Lion Records. After recording a second song, "La Tribu", she was immediately nicknamed PG-13 by her cousin Ian Marcel Cardozo Joglar, since she was under-aged at the time, she joined the group and PG-13 is normally used to classify movies that require parental guidance for children under 13.
During 2005, she was active in the late-night circuit of shows and presentations in various venues throughout the island, which would help give form and structure to what was to become Calle 13. At only 16 years of age, she found herself singing on stage in front of thousands at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot, as part of Calle 13's first concert. She chose to interpret "Puro Teatro", a song previously recorded by La Lupe, which is one of her favorite artists.
On May 2, 2009, Calle 13 performed once again at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot for the release of their third album Los de Atrás Vienen Conmigo. "In The Heights" playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda was invited to make an appearance after Residente had seen his acceptance speech for Best Original Score at the 62nd Tony Awards. Backstage, Flor Joglar de Gracia, mother of Ile and Residente, revealed to Miranda their connection to Gilberto Concepción de Gracia, founder of the Puerto Rican Independence Party. Miranda and Residente have since confirmed their family relation through social media.[non-primary source needed][non-primary source needed][non-primary source needed][non-primary source needed]
