Milow the Girl AKA (Sylvia) has led a remarkable life. The Swiss artist was raised surrounded by baby lions, elephants, chimpanzees and a menagerie of exotic wildlife. Her earliest memories at the age of four years were of her best friends, not neighborhood kids, but leopard cubs, wolves and other assorted playmates. While her love of animals goes back as far as she can remember, her venture into music came a bit later in life.
Her career started in 2007 when her song “Waking Up “received the award for best dance track at a USA songwriting contest . In 2009, Milow the Girl received the award of Best European Singer at the LA Music Awards . The buzz within the industry caught the attention of US-based label Realize Records and within a few months Milow the Girl was signed to the label. The label released “Days of Power” in 2010 that charted on US college radio. The debut was followed with her sophomore release “32,000 Feet Above” in 2012. The CD produced several successful singles including ‘Beautiful World’ and ‘Distraction’. In 2013 MTG partnered with UK based label Right Recordings to release the single ‘Distraction Timothy Allan and Loverush Remix’. The song went on to  reach  #14 on the New Music Week’s Commercial Pop Chart. In 2014, the feature film “Days of Power ” inspired by Milow the Girl and her United States Days of Power tour was filmed and is set for release in 2016. The film stars indie musicians and actors from all over the world and has special appearances by animal rights advocates Eric and Eliza Roberts, Simone Reyes and Milow the Girl herself.
In February 2015, “Overexposed” was released on Realize Records. When asked about the title, MTG says, “Personally I think that we live in a world that is overexposed by the media, by publicity and sometimes events are vulgarized or exaggerated. I think the balance has been lost between what is interesting and what  is too much. This album is about the people I have loved. A mix of feelings, of tears, laughter and hopes. I am an unconditional wild romantic in that I will be tomorrow where my thoughts bring me.” The project was recorded in Los Angeles and London with songwriter/producers Robert Venable, Keaton Simons and Stuart Epps. The CD mixes rock, pop and dance genres while you can hear the influences from an artist who has traveled all over the world. US Tour dates are expected for the fall of 2016.
In addition to her passion for music, the socially conscious artist works alongside nonprofits such as Soi Dogs and Humane Society of the United States to protect animal rights, fostering and the environment. Milow the Girl says, “I have been blessed to be surrounded by animals all my life. I find it so important to live in harmony with nature; it should be our primary concern to live and respect all that surrounds us. If each of us thought about the consequences of our actions and took the time to change one little thing…what a difference this would make
