Created by Soraya Silene, a singer-songwriter, and producer, out of Richmond, Va. When you listen to IONNA, you can hear the influences of Kate Bush, The Cure, and St.Vincent. IONNA’s driving melodies move between being danceable and other times, ambient, calling the listener to the universal and collective. IONNA is narrative-driven, based initially on a fantasized character and a comic sketch.

IONNA is a synth-pop project from Soraya Teschner. After years of writing and different iterations in the studio and on stage, IONNA has landed on a soundscape that is at once synthy, poppy, cinematic, and emotional. The debut album, “IONNAVERSE”, sung from the perspective of the title character, includes lore of far-off worlds, cyber-snake-people, and secret missions with cosmic implications. But beneath the fantasy, “IONNAVERSE” is a collection of songs for people who are learning how to be human.
