Alternative-pop session singer delivering raw, intimate vocals with emotional weight and modern edge.
Hi!! I’m Iris Ixxy, a session singer and artist based between Bali and London. My work is rooted in emotion, intuition, and honest expression. I approach every song with intention and presence, not autopilot vocals. My debut album Waking Up reflects the kind of performances I bring to session work: raw, vulnerable, and atmospheric. I’m drawn to music that tells the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable, and I aim to translate that feeling directly into my voice. I work best with artists and producers who value authenticity and emotional depth. Whether it’s a soft, intimate lead or layered harmonies that add texture and soul, I focus on connecting to the song first and letting the performance come from there. If you’re looking for a voice that feels human, intentional, and emotionally alive, I’d love to collaborate.
I’m collaborative, communicative, and deeply respectful of the creative process.

Interview with Iris Ixxy
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Yes, I work closely with Kipper Eldridge, who is an incredible producer and mixer. We collaborate regularly and have a strong creative understanding, which makes the process really natural and cohesive. If a client is looking for high quality production or mixing, I would absolutely recommend him.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: My promise is to treat your song like it matters. I’ll show up fully, communicate clearly, and put real care into the melody, lyrics, and vocal delivery. I won’t send something I don’t believe in. If I’m working on your track, I’m committed to making it feel authentic and emotionally strong, not rushed or generic.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I’d love to work with Lizzy McAlpine because her music feels intimate and emotionally honest. The melodies are subtle but powerful, and the lyrics feel very real and personal. I connect with that kind of storytelling and vulnerability, and I think I’d really thrive in that space creatively.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I usually work on alternative pop with a soft, intimate feel. I’m drawn to stripped-back production, honest lyrics, and melodies that feel a little delicate but still hit emotionally. There’s often a touch of jazz influence in the way I phrase or shape melodies, but it stays modern and minimal. I love music that feels vulnerable, atmospheric, and slightly moody rather than overly polished or loud.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is communication. I really value understanding what someone is trying to say and making sure they feel heard throughout the process. I ask questions, stay open, and keep things honest so there is no confusion. I think good music comes from real connection, and clear communication is what allows that to happen
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring authenticity and emotion. I like making things feel real, not overthought or forced. When I sing or write, I connect to the feeling first and let that guide the melody and lyrics. I think what I bring most is honesty. I want people to feel something when they hear it, even if it’s subtle.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: My process changes depending on the song — every track has its own energy. I like to really connect with the artist and understand the story or emotion behind it first. Once I feel that, I usually start building melodies that feel honest and natural, then write lyrics that match the mood. I’ll send ideas as we go and keep it collaborative, because I think the best songs come from real connection. Once everything feels right, I record and deliver clean, fully edited vocals and stems ready for mixing.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Right now I’m travelling, so I’m working with a portable setup — Focusrite Scarlett interface and Logic Pro — which lets me record and produce remotely with great quality. When I’m home, I have access to a professional studio with Logic Pro X, a Neumann U87, and a UAD Apollo, so I can deliver fully polished, industry-level recordings.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I’m really inspired by artists like Phoebe Bridgers, Searows, Lizzy McAlpine and Billie Eilish for their honesty and emotional depth. I also admire Jacob Collier for his musicality and how creatively he approaches harmony and arrangement. For me, it’s always about the soul of the song. The feeling has to come first!!
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I usually sing lead vocals on songs I’ve co-written or on tracks from writers who don’t feel confident performing their own material. I like working closely with the artist or producer so the vocal really feels right for the song. I also record harmonies and backing vocals to add depth and bring the track to life.
