Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” —Plato 
 My name is Ivana, better known as Lyrical Ivy. 
 I was born in Rotterdam, The Netherlands in 1987. My first experiences as a songwriter was in my younger years at the age of eleven. Since that time I love to write songs, poetry and little stories. 
 For a long time I have thought about what I wanted to become in life. Music was always on my mind, writing was always the passion in my life. Listening to music and focussing on the lyrics is what I love to do. My artist name Lyrical Ivy is inspired by that. 
 As a little girl, my influences were Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Usher and Mariah Carey. As I grew older I started to listen to afro house music more and more. I became captivated by the sound. It literally took me to higher places. It was here that I furthered expanded on my knowledge in house music. 
 It was here that I realized that I wanted to pursue my career in this field. 
 My desire is to touch you with the songs I write and to bring you there where you long to be. 
 Come on this road trip with me and let the music speak for itself.
