Everything You Wanted to Know About tiny but scary Singer-Songwriter Juliet Ivy
23-year-old singer-songwriter Juliet Ivy has captured the hearts of listeners everywhere, and her music is as evocative (and sonically stunning) as ever with last week's new EP release, tiny but scary.
Over five tracks, the EP takes us into Juliet's rich inner world, exploring her own unique experience as a young woman—based in New York City and of Colombian and Chinese lineage—in today's day and age. She studied songwriting and production at NYU's Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, discovering her passions as a storyteller, first and foremost, with the lyrics serving as the driving force between her clever and playful yet profoundly relatable lyrics. Like Juliet, her songs are much more than meets the eye. If you simply can't get enough, keep reading to find out everything Juliet shared with us as our Woman Crush Wednesday.
