Schuyler Iona recently graduated with a BFA in Music Composition and Performance from California Institute of the Arts. At CalArts she has had the opportunity to study with incredible composers and guitarist such as Thomas Leeb, Mark Lowenstein and Miroslav Tadic. As a composer she is influenced by a wide variety of performers and music genres from folk to pop to musical theater to punk. Her guitar style features detailed chord progressions along with deft fingerpicking.

She has opened for performers such as Ellis Paul and Loudon Wainwright III and has worked with broadway performers and directors including Michael Greif (Rent, Next to Normal, Dear Evan Hansen) as an actress. Her first music video “Playground Museum” had its premier at the International Film Festival Manhattan and is a winner of the My HERO International Film Festival. 

A poet at heart, Schuyler is inspired by life around her and continues to develop in front of audiences as a writer, musician, teacher, and humanitarian.
