Sibilla is a band led by Silvia Fioretti whose influences include Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Nina Simone, Radiohead and gospel. The band's name is Italian for sibyl - a prophetess from classical mythology.

At the age of 17 Sil had already written songs and performed live in the clubs of her hometown Milan, Italy. She has sung gospel, jazz and blues with a variety of renowned choirs and artists including the Milan Jazz School Choir, Ring Jazz Chorus Quintet and the contemporary gospel band No One Else. In 2005, Sil moved to London and dedicated herself to songwriting and performing, both solo and with Sibilla.
