We are a 6 piece vocal group based out of Kansas City, KS. We all met in vocal jazz and choir at KCKCC and love making music with our voices. 

Ivy Roots’ serene and soulful eclectic sounds are influenced by 90s Rnb, crafted, and evolved by indie soul inspirations. This jazzy pop artist recreates herself consistently as a classic and unique illumination in up and coming music. The acoustic guitar strumming soulstress is an Austin transplant from Kansas City.
Ivy recently released her 3rd musical project “Love Art Growth 2” and has been featured on A&R Factory as “stripped back soul”.  Ivy Roots was featured along with the dungeon family in Compose Yourself Magazine’s “2019 SXSW Highlights” ;
"...Serving up warm, buttery melodies on her guitar, Ivy’s vocal range was seriously impressive – from smoky and pensive to deep and soul-tingling, Ivy Roots has a uniquely soulful yet rock n roll influenced sound that caught me off guard. Though I’d only caught 30 minutes of her set, it felt like time had stopped inside of Shangri-La. I was captivated by her sound, and I know without a doubt that I wasn’t the only one who became a fan that day.”
Ivy’s love for music began in church & school. Coming from Kansas City, Ivy Roots grew a love for live music in the 18th & Vine jazz district, which is the origin of many notable artists and musicians.
“I was studying audio engineering at Kansas City Kansas Community College, while touring in a 5 piece reggae band. I sang in a vocal jazz group and had the opportunity to perform at the Lincoln center of performing arts jazz festival in NY. At that point I was inspired to pursue music as a career.  That summer I traveled to LA to perform and model for Coca-Cola during the B.E.T. awards weekend. I was collaborating with so many amazing artists in LA I was inspired to release my 1st album “Bad Intuition” and Ivy Roots was born.”
Ivy Roots Band recently shared some festivals with Fitz and the Tantrums and Young and the Giant. When interviewed by Volcom (Red) as a Fem portrait during SXSW on what inspired her, Ivy Roots answered; 
“Your words and your music can shine through and empower people to be authentic. That’s what I’m inspired by, people who allow themselves to pour their heart out behind a mic. They’re not afraid. It inspires other people to be true to themselves. 
My expression is a reflection of my perception of this world. As a human, I’ve always wanted to feel understood. As an artist, I am a mirror. I hope my lens can inspire someone to better understand themselves.
I write, record and perform songs based on real life experience. Some of my recent work includes singing bowls and frequencies that promote inner healing inspire dialogues on mental health.
 Ivy Roots on sharing stories to take her audience on a journey; "love, art, growth, and inspiration are so contagious. It just takes me being inspired, to make you feel inspired, and we can constantly inspire each other.”
