ILe

"In The Heights" playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda was invited to make an appearance after Residente had seen his acceptance Speech for Best Original Score at the 62nd Tony Awards.

Backstage, Flor Joglar de Gracia, mother of iLe and Residente, revealed to Miranda their connection to Gilberto Concepción de Gracia, founder of the Puerto Rican Independence Party.

Miranda and Residente have since confirmed their family relation through social media.

PG-13 continued traveling with Calle 13 during her junior year of high school.

At that time, she had the opportunity to visit other countries and share the stage with some of her most admired artists, such as Gustavo Santaolalla, Kevin Johansen and Susana Baca.

Ileana Mercedes Cabra Joglar (born April 28, 1989), better known by the nickname "iLe", is a Puerto Rican singer, composer and vocalist.

She began her musical career as a teenager as the sole female singer of Calle 13, a group she took part in for 10 years alongside her brothers René Pérez Joglar (Residente) and Eduardo Cabra Martínez (Visitante).

During 2005, she was active in the late-night circuit of shows and presentations in various venues throughout the island, which would help give form and structure to what was to become Calle 13.

At only 16 years of age, she found herself singing on stage in front of thousands at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot, as part of Calle 13's first concert.

She chose to interpret "Puro Teatro", a song previously recorded by La Lupe, which is one of her favorite artists.

On May 2, 2009, Calle 13 performed once again at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot for the release of their third album Los de Atrás Vienen Conmigo.

In 2010, Kevin Johansen invited Joglar as a guest performer during his presentation at the Buenos Aires National Theatre where together they sang "Logo," a song included in Johansen's repertoire and recording; The Nada Liniers: Live in Buenos Aires.

In November 2011, Calle 13 opened the Gala at the 12th edition of the Latin Grammy Awards with the theme "Latinoamérica" performed with a symphony orchestra arrangement by Alex Berti and conducted by Musical Director Gustavo Dudamel.

According to Latino Fox News, PG-13's high notes left everyone in silence.

By the end of 2012, she participated in the traditional Banco Popular TV Christmas Special which has been produced and transmitted each year since 1993.

On this occasion, for the special "Hecho con Sabor a Puerto Rico" Ileana had an impressive performance singing "La Pared" which was described by the Diario of NY as "superb" 4 La Pared is one of the first successful songs written by Puerto Rican composer Roberto Angleró.

In 2012, boxing champion Miguel Cotto chose Joglar to sing the Puerto Rican National Anthem during the introduction ceremony prior to his fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. Her interpretation was widely acclaimed, including by the legendary Bob Dylan, who in 2015 mentioned her in his MusiCares Person of the Year Speech: "I was in a boxing match a few years ago watching Floyd Mayweather fight a boxer from Puerto Rico and someone sang the Puerto Rican national anthem. And it was beautiful, it was heartfelt, it was moving".

In 2014, she collaborated with Gustavo Cordera on the theme "Estoy Real" for the "Cordera Vivo" production, which was recorded at La Trastienda Club in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

One year later, in 2015, she was invited by Jorge Drexler to sing on stage the song "Olas y Arena" by Puerto Rican composer Sylvia Rexach during Drexler's concert in Puerto Rico as part of the Uruguayan singer's tour.

In August 2015, Ileana announced that she was changing her artistic name to iLe and was working on her first solo album.

The recording took place during that entire year under the production of iLe and Ismael Cancel.

Her first solo production, entitled iLevitable and launched in June 2016, won a Grammy in the category Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album in 2017, and for it iLe was also nominated for the Latin Grammy Awards as "Best New Artist".

iLe has performed in Puerto Rico, the United States and Europe.

iLe is the daughter of Flor Joglar de Gracia, an actress who formed part of the theatre troupe Teatro del Sesenta.

Her father, José Cabra González is a creative advertiser and musician.

Since a very young age, Ileana showed great interest in music.

She began to sing even while still learning how to speak, phonetically imitating the voices of famous singers or movie soundtracks that appealed to her.

During this time, she would often sing in private parties and family gatherings.

While attending Josefita Monserrate de Sellés elementary school, she joined the School Choir and the Handbell Choir headed by Evangeline Oliver.

For eight years, she studied piano at El Conservatorio de Música de Puerto Rico.

Ileana inherited her voice from her mother and her grandmother, Flor Amelia de Gracia, teacher and composer, who is also featured on the back cover of Calle 13's self-titled debut album.

At age 16, as a second year high school student, her brother Residente picked her up one day after class and asked her to sing "La Aguacatona", a song he had written for a demo he was working on with her brother Visitante.

She began to take private singing lessons with renowned Puerto Rican soprano Hilda Ramos and then additional vocal studies with Cuban singer Gema Corredera, member of the group Gema y Pavel.

From that point on, she began to collaborate as vocalist for her brothers' new musical project.

"La Aguacatona" caught the attention of White Lion Records.

After recording a second song, "La Tribu", she was immediately nicknamed PG-13 by her cousin Ian Marcel Cardozo Joglar, since she was under-aged at the time, she joined the group and PG-13 is normally used to classify movies that require parental guidance for children under 13.

In May 2016, iLevitable was released to the praise of critic and peers.

In 2017, she guests sang on "Hijos del Canãveral", the closing track of her brother's debut solo album.

In March 2022, she was featured on a single by Adrian Quesada called “Mentiras con Cariño."

When she was 18, PG-13 sang at the 8th Annual Latin Grammy Awards presentation held at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, as part of Calle 13's interpretation of "Pa'l Norte" which opened with PG-13 performing a solo a cappella.
