Lifetime musician and writer, Irie, brings her passionate vocals and her lyrical style together to forage a blend of indie pop/rock ballads. Born as Irelyn Ulrich in Madison, Wisconsin, she was thrown into a life of creative thinking from a young age. The daughter of a Creative Writer and English Professor, Irie was raised reading 10 books a night before bed, and her exposure to outside the box thinking from a young age set the stage for her future career as a musician. Inspired by the likes of music icons like Sinead O’Connor and Alanis Morissette as well as more recent stars such as Renee Rapp and Maggie Rogers, Irie never stops writing music. When she isn’t playing music with her friends or waiting tables at The Lakely, she is hunkered down in her living room spinning words and melodies into the perfect arrangement. Studying at UWEC to earn her degree in recording arts and songwriting, she is excited to see where this long and winding road of expression takes her.
