Iryna Parr: What defines an artist in 2015? A groovy David Lynch character or a singing film director? It’s more likely, to be an inspired and complex person capable of mastering a variety of arts who will swipe you off your feet and make you dream.

Iryna ́s voice and music provokes a mesmerizing world of mixed arts. Jazz, soul, blues, Latin and even cabaret are all in the mix. We might feel like being in a 30's jazz speakeasy, or in a modern swing session then a musician or a dancer, appears right next to you, you‘re not sure where the music is coming from, you realize something different is happening.

Born in Belarus, Iryna has lived and feels equally at home in Spain, Cuba, Germany, UK, USA and France. No wonder that Iryna´s music and performance is as suggestive as movies and makes the audience travel in space and time from Habana to Paris, New York or Berlin.
