AYĖL, Belen, DÀN, & Aydan Hill

AYĖL, Belen, DÀN, and Aydan Hill come together at The Rockwell for an intimate night of songwriting and genre-crossing performances. The lineup moves through folk, pop, alternative, R&B, soul, electronic, and cinematic influences, with each artist exploring themes including vulnerability, identity, belonging, self-expression, and human connection through personal songs, expressive vocals, and immersive arrangements.

AYĖL is a French Boston-based singer-songwriter, producer, pianist, and film composer studying film scoring at Berklee College of Music. Her work combines intimate writing with expansive pop, R&B, soul, rock, electronic, and cinematic textures. Her recent releases include “Better,” while her song “The Story Never Ends” appeared in *All American*.

Belen is a francophone German-Filipino-American folk-oriented singer-songwriter and multidisciplinary artist. Based in Boston, she builds tender, acoustic-centered songs from emotional storytelling and her multicultural upbringing. She learned guitar at 16, later studied music in Paris, and now attends Berklee on a full-tuition scholarship. Her cover of “Ma Meilleure Ennemie” from Netflix’s *Arcane* has surpassed three million views across platforms, and she is preparing the EP *From Above*.

DÀN is an Italian songwriter, vocalist, producer, and composer based in Boston. Originally from northern Italy, he has performed at festivals and developed his production, recording, and engineering skills at Berklee. His forthcoming debut album, *magari*, is described as a collaborative and exploratory project shaped by his experiences, Italian roots, and evolving artistic voice.

Aydan Hill is an independent Boston-based artist born in Moscow. Drawing inspiration from Frank Ocean, Sade, and Dominic Fike, he blends genres while writing about identity, belonging, travel, and connection. A Russian, Spanish, and English-speaking third-culture artist, he is preparing the album *Coming of Age*. His music is paired with cinematic visuals made with local filmmakers, photographers, dancers, and other artists.
