Biography
Ivana June is a rising London-based independent artist, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who blends Neo-soul, R&B and Latin influences to create music that is both personal and deeply relatable. Ivana writes and co-produces her music, maintaining her full creative vision. Her most recent single, Butterflies, released on July 11th.
Raised in a musical household in London, Ivana was introduced to the piano at a young age, eventually writing songs at the age of 10. With a drive to refine her musical ideas, she then taught herself guitar, bass and music production. Her identity as both a writer and a producer has given her the creative freedom to craft her sound precisely as she envisions it. Her Spanish heritage also plays a key role in her music, influencing the rhythms and melodies toward which she naturally gravitates.
Ivana’s second single In Time quietly gained traction, reaching over 300,000 streams and helping her connect with a growing audience beyond her local scene.
Her musical foundation was shaped by her father’s love of jazz, leading to an early appreciation for artists like Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, and Marvin Gaye. More recently, she’s been inspired by acts such as The Marías, Ezra Collective, and Olivia Dean.
With a sound rooted in both introspection and groove, Ivana June is steadily building a body of work that reflects her voice—honest, soulful, and her own vision.

Press Release
In ‘Butterflies’, Ivana June Turns a Situationship into a Soulful Reverie
Following the streaming success of ‘In Time’ and ‘Around’, Ivana June releases her latest single, ‘Butterflies’.
Playfully documenting the growing attachment one begins to feel in the early stages of a romantic relationship, particularly an evolving 'situationship', Ivana blends universally relatable lyrics with a particularly catchy melody. Butterflies mixes soulful verses with a catchy chorus and swelling arrangements to capture a sense of new love.
Ivana writes and co produces all of her music, and ‘Butterflies’ serves as another instalment of her creative collaboration with producer Peter Anderson.
Co-writer Tommy Stewart had originally planned to use the chorus chords in a session with AJ Tracey, but says "as soon as Ivana began singing over them, it was clear they were meant for her".
The song had its live debut at June’s show at Folklore on the 11th July, a celebration of the release.
Ivana June has been playing her trade in numerous live venues all across London, with her devoted and extremely tight band. If the reception she gets at these gigs is anything to go by, Ivana is certainly one to watch for the future. Just her 4th single, 'Butterflies' is only the beginning for this promising artist, with many more memorable songs ready to be released.
