Genre: Pop-Rock-Jazz

With a melody in her blood and on her lips, Ionie blends pop and jazz the way whiskey goes with chocolate. She is known for her candor as a songwriter, a deeply soulful sound, and melodies you can’t forget. Ionie was born and raised just north of San Francisco by a jazz-loving father and dancing mother, running everything from Diana Krall to The Buena Vista Social Club through her veins and vocal cords.
