In a perfect world, ivy would want everything to reflect 'green'- to reflect growth. From the roots of the 4c hair to the knotted ends of waist-length braids, her music mantra is "just keep going and growing." From Atlanta, Georgia by way of "The Garden State," ivy draws her influences from many places. "I love traveling, I've gotten to go to so many interesting places, I just pick up a little inspiration from each stop. I'm a souvenir person for sure."

ivy is one of three in the Gard3n music trio. Keeping true to the elements, ivy's sound is earthy and mild-tempered. Citing neo-soul, R&B and jazz as her genre influences, each of her tracks is a bit different but never strays too far from home. Growing up on The Jacksons, Oleta Adams, DeBarge and Spryro Gyra, her interestes range.

ivy wants to create a contemporary and unique spin on her childhood soundtrack and bring a different way of looking at artists' capabilities. "I think it's hard to say what kind of music I make, because when I'm in the process it's purely creation. Not really rap, R&B or anything. The final sound just is." Continuing to grow in the Gard3n and in nature, it won't be long before ivy blooms.
