Ivona Budys Q&A


Your name: 
Ivona Budys.

Where are you from? 
I was born in Krakow Poland and grew up in Sydney Australia.

How would you describe yourself?
I describe my music as folk fiction music for wolf pack sympathisers.

Who are your main influences musically? 
I love Bjork, Sharon Van Etten, Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Cindy Lauper, Joni Mitchel, The Tallest Man on Earth, Iron and Wine... 

What do you hope to achieve in music? 
I hope to develop my skills in piano and autoharp playing and to learn the up right harp. I hope to write songs that communicate. I hope to increase the listenership of my music. I hope to perform live to audiences that are there to hear my songs, on a big stage, with a piano, accompanied by brilliant musicians and maybe a cool visual show. 

What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why? 
A younger girl wrote to me, after hearing one of my songs and thanked me for writing it. She said she didn't have the words to describe her emotions and because of that, she felt alone. When she heard my song, she cried and said she didn't feel so alone any more.

And what’s the moment you want to forget? 
I try not to hold onto the bad stuff, it blocks progress.  

If you could choose one of your songs as an advert for your music, what would it be and why? 
Hoopla, because it's me right now. 

Where can we listen to it?

Where can we find out more about your music?

Anything else you’d like to say about your band that I forgot to ask?
Nope, that's cool.
