Ilyass Hasnaoui known artistically as ILYAH, is a Boston based artist. Born in Morocco, then immigrated to the US at a young age, ILYAH’s multicultural upbringing permeates his sound with French, Arabic, and English influences.
ILYAH started his early career doing covers on YouTube where he gained a small fan base that allowed him to push through in the music scene. After being admitted to the TV show ‘The Voice’ in 2018, ILYAH decided that it’d be best for him to pass on the opportunity and join a boy band formed by the notorious Jeff Timmons founding member of the Grammy nominated, multi-platinum, world-renowned group 98 Degrees.
Timmons selected the members of Overnight from thousands of Internet video submissions and auditions in 2018.
ILYAH then flew to Vegas to live with the rest of the band where he spent a whole summer recording and learning the whole set. Overnight brought the perfect blend of vocal talent, dancing ability, sex appeal, stage presence, and diversity, to bring a high-energy, engaging, and nostalgic performance to the stage, while bringing a youthful freshness to classic hits from several eras of iconic pop music.
Choreographed by entertainment industry staple David Mayorga (Daddy Yankee, AR Rahman, Cirque Du Soleil, Brooke Hogan), Overnight performed classic hits from stars like New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees, N*SYNC, O-Town, Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, The Wanted, One Direction, and the Jackson 5 to name a few.
