Ilze Rey is a singer and songwriter. Her songs tell the story of her life, which was once filled with playful mischief and deep dreams. Like a sudden gust, powerful winds sweep through her world, carrying her far into the sails of a windmill until she unhooks and grazes the blueberries. In an instant, she retraces her path, exploring who she truly is...
Originally from Latvia, Ilze has been living between her native country and Switzerland for over two decades. She writes in French, English, and Russian, delving into her personal experiences, fantasies, life's accidents, love and its storms, seduction, and improbable encounters.
Ilze, deeply committed on a human level, is continually seeking alternative paths, spiritual forms of thought, and intellectual, emotional, and sensual nourishment. This quest imparts a positive and motivating hue to her world.
Her writing, rich in imagery and fluidity, unfolds like a cinematic experience. Each piece becomes a vivid and wandering tableau, breathing inspiration into composer Nicolas Luciani.
