Iris Johner

About

Iris Johner has been writing songs and poems since childhood. At age 14, she received her first guitar and started playing on stage in her home country – France – cutting a five-song demo back in 2012 and joining an indie-shoe gaze band for a while. Iris Johner's musical journey reflects the punctuation of one's individual course along the flavors range that life offers, nourished among others, in smoky sweaty basements in Lyon, dreamy Californian deserts, northern-harbored love stories, Andean melodies and diverse aesthetic explorations. Written from the ink of her tears, the beats of her rage and the depths of her being, always with the raw desire to witness the Truth, Iris Johner's art is a reverence to Life itself, in all its harshness, magic and absurdity. Iris Johner's music wanders free, as she is, contemplative, reflective and determined to express something real. She is an autodidact singer-songwriter hitting the road with only her guitars, voice and guts. 'Far Down South' EP is a tribute to the South West corner of Portugal, where she is currently based, as an independent professional musician. If it's got pop accents, the tracks definitely feel folksier with 90's acoustic alternative vibes. The simplicity of the production highlights a powerful, profound and warm voice, which cannot leave indifferent for it carries in the accuracy of its words, the roar of the soul and the grace of a moonless night.
