INANNA BIOGRAPHY

Matchbox Recordings is excited and proud to announce the entry of singer/songwriter Inanna into the family. Inanna first started her musical journey in 2004 after having a spiritual experience in a Buddhist temple in Bangkok Thailand. Soon after, the songs just seemed to flow through her effortlessly.

In may 2005 Inanna's dance track Feels So Divine gained her a place as a finalist for Song of the Year judged by Grammy Award winners Nora Jones and Sheila E. Inanna proclaims "My influences were Dido and Alanis Morissette and Donna summer and I love to listen to classical music for inspiration".

In 2007 she enrolled in the Academy Of Performing Arts to further her vocal and performing abilities. Inanna is currently shooting a video for 'Feels So Divine' and is rehearsing and writing new songs for her 2010 Autumn/winter Tour. The official launch date is set for April/May 2010 and will be broadcast on MTV. The debut album " Feels so Divine" will be released through Matchbox Recoridngs/Ciantar Records in April 2010.

Singer on the rise Inanna has been working around the clock to further expose her music and has turned some heads along the way. She has received much acclaim in the last few years, including winning a 2005 song writing competition (judged by Grammy winners such as Norah Jones and Bon Jovi) in the Electronic/Dance category for Song of The Year for her leading track "Feels So Divine”. Inanna has since been signed to Ciantar Records and is currently working on her next music video Inanna's soothing but powerful, rich vocal tones in this music video are sure to take hold of the Adult Contemporary charts. Her songs are known to have a good vibration to them and this is no exception. "You And Me Only" showcases a relaxing beat and Inanna's heartfelt voice to create a song that people will really listen to. It seems innate for Inanna to produce feel-good tunes.
