Iona Kaye is a singer, songwriter and improviser based in Sheffield who trained in classical music at the Royal Northern College of Music.

Her songs blur folk and classical, pairing warm, expansive vocals with delicate guitar and piano. Her poetic landscapes are tender, wild and raw, inviting you into a world of purple moons and trampolines, of howling wolves and salt poured into grazed knees.
