For Ivana Mer music emerges from silence, inspired by the chants of the sea, forces of nature and by the inner world of the soul.

Slovak born composer and singer, began her artistic journey in Prague while finishing her studies of cultural anthropology. Here she has produced her first electro-acoustic compositions that were used in the Belgian dance project Dancers! and got into the semifinals of the international electro-acoustic festival LEM Le Prix Russolo. Her musical activities are closely connected to travels, which besides opening new horizons, are the source of collaborations with the producers and talented musicians from Europe and the world.
In 2015 she was nominated in the category "Discovery of the Year - Radio Head Awards" and her song "Diamond fields" created with producer Marc-Eric Laine was leading at the first position in Radio FM chart, Slovakia. Her singing voice is heard in the song "Tak sa stále pýtam" for the Slovakian film "Hrana - 4 filmy o Marekovi Brezovskom", directed by Patrik Lančarič.
You can hear her music also in the dance film "Personal Pronouns" from the director Andrea Sudorová, awarded at the Dance Film Festival, San Francisco, USA.
In 2016 her first album titled "Early Works" was released by Slovakian record label Slnko Records with very positive reception from the audience and critics in various parts of globe. 
For the year 2017 she is preparing album of remixes from her debut. At this project took part artist from Japan, Argentina, Uruguay, Australia, Greece and France. As well the release of EP in collaboration with artist I am planet - minimalistic, neo-classical music. You can listen to the first single "Eyja" known from the compilation "Ostrov Hudby" (Island of Music), Lala Music Export, tribute to the deceased journalist Juraj Kušnierik.
She perceives life itself as music that includes all the genres, what naturally leads her to participate in wide range of projects from playing music for theatre performances, composing for video art, contemporary dance, singing for poetic rap and acoustic minimalism.

PRESS QUOTES
• Juraj Kusnierik - Slovakian music journalist > “Ivana is a great singer with perfect vocal technique, but not only: her songs are graceful trips into the mysterious lands”.
• Adam Badí Donoval (UK) - Can You Ear It? > "...an absolutely surreal and narcotic listen."
• Michal Wieczorek - Na obrzezach (Poland) > "The second strong current of folk inspiration in the works of Ivana is a Slovak tradition, which moves Mer to unreal, heavenly dimension... in contrast to the title, the contents of early works shows Ivana as already formed artist."
