Saturday Night Live: Innessa

Presented by Studio 188

Innessa’s musical adventure started with a passion for writing poetry at the tender age of 8. Her poetry was filled with vivid observations of her surroundings at home in central Russia. At age 9, Innessa was invited to join the local choir and began her lifelong passion for music and performing. After several years of expanding her vocal talents she was introduced to the guitar and by the age of 16 had combined her poetry, signing and guitar skills and started performing her original compositions.

The day she finished University, she packed her guitar and set off to explore the world, and the world of music. She has spent time living, studying music and performing on the Black Sea, Moscow, Egypt, Spain, The USA and has now happily settled in Australia.

Since arriving in Australia,  3 albums have been released: Innessa, Folkloria and Love-n-Jazz. 

Innessa has performed at some of Australia’s largest festivals like the Canberra Multicultural Folk Festival and the Woodford Folk Festival.

Innessa’s Russian folk music roots are clearly influential in her fresh and unique style.  With a broad range of catchy melodies along with her beautiful vocals, Innessa’s true exotic heritage shines through in her diverse collection of songs. With dreamy emotional lyrics sung to a mixture of eclectic styles and undertones, Innessa is constantly leaving her audience spellbound.
