Born in Miami to Cuban parents and grandparents, Iliana grew up surrounded by the sounds and spirit of her heritage. A true prodigy, she began playing piano at age four and went on to earn performance degrees from both the University of Miami and the National Piano Guild, blending classical mastery with the soulful pulse of Cuban jazz.
After moving to Los Angeles, Iliana formed the acclaimed Iliana Rose Cuban Jazz Band, performing alongside some of the world’s finest musicians. Her career spans television, film, world stages, and recording studios. She served as pianist and musical director for four years on the national TV show Noches Con Platanito, and her talents as a composer and arranger continue to shape projects across multiple genres.
Today, Iliana tours internationally, composes for film, arranges for ensembles of all sizes, and travels the country as a guest clinician and leadership specialist—bringing her passion, expertise, and magnetic energy wherever she goes.
