About Inga
"
Inga is truly a superstar in every sense of the word. The passion and effort that she's poured into "Riding The Wind" is evident on every track... Inga's voice will MOVE you, entrance you. "Riding The Wind" is an amazing experience - I haven't stopped listening to the CD since it arrived last week! It's a great mix of music styles woven together with Inga's captivating vocals. Eventually I anticipate every track on this album will make its way onto our internet station!..."

~ Bio ~
I was born in the capitol of Latvia, Riga. (Across the sea from Sweden). I grew up in Scandinavia (Denmark) and Canada. Currently I am residing on the South-East coast of the USA.
I don't recall when I started writing songs. The urge to express myself musically was a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As I child I taught myself to play the piano, and as a teen I developed a love for the classical guitar. Since the guitar has been my principal instrument.
I wrote songs for voice and guitar and performed for family and friends, as well as in coffee shops and at other small venues.
Starting out as a folk artist I wanted to expand my skills and musical scope. I began to experiment with electronic and new age composition. Among my many inspirations were Enya, Enigma, and Delirium. I saved up for a home-recording setup and began learning the basics of composition, music production, and sound engineering.
"Invisible Rivers EP"
In early 2005 I recorded my first electronic demos which I shared with friends, artists, and producers that I had met through MySpace.com. The collection of my early solo electronic tracks was later mastered by Eric Scot Porter and released as a digital download. The EP also features a collaboration with Eric on the song "Just to Fly".
Invisible Rivers EP is available in the VIP area under the category: "song archive".
"Riding the Wind" (Electronic Album)
In 2006 I began collaborating with friends, artists, and producers from around the globe — contributing my vocals and songwriting to numerous electronic and new age projects. Consequently the concept for Riding the Wind, my debut album, was born and brought to completion. Riding the Wind was released March 2007. The album ranges in style from ambient electronica, to new age, IDM, chillout and trip-hop. The music was inspired and created over the Internet, featuring guest artists and producers.
Forthcoming Acoustic Album
After working with New Age and Electronic music for the past few years, I wanted to share with my audience the original and more intimate acoustic side of my art. Currently in the works is a follow-up album which remains untitled. The new album is a collection of mellow acoustic melodies and poems sung to a classical guitar, and subtly arranged with other live instruments.
