Irena

Ukranian singer whose music has been compared to the likes of Björk, Massive Attack and Portishead.

She graduated from the Academy Of Music in Odessa in 2001 and moved to London a year later armed with a 5 track CD where she made demos that caught the ear of John Altman. Before signing with Fiberline Audio, she sang with and managed a jazz band that had a residence in a nightclub in Odessa, and went on tour around Ukraine, Russia, Moldavia, Crimea and elsewhere.
