, stylized GILLE, is a Japanese singer originally from
Saito, Miyazaki. She made her major debut in 2012, but had previously performed under the name TASHA gee. Gille made a name for herself by releasing videos of herself singing English language covers of Japanese pop songs on her YouTube channel appearing only in silhouette, including some English songs such as "
Rolling in the Deep", featured on her debut EP ''Lead the Way''. In June 2012, she released an English cover of
AKB48's "
Flying Get", and the group's creator
Yasushi Akimoto remarked that Gille had a "diamond voice" and fully approved the cover. Gille made her debut with the album ''I AM GILLE.'' in July 2012, which eventually became certified as gold. Her debut single "Girls / Winter Dream" was released that October, and was noted to sample
O-Zone's "
Dragostea Din Tei". This was followed up by the single "Try Again" in January 2013
and the album ''GILLEsound Vol. 1''.
