She holds a BFA from CalArts & a Master of Music in Opera & vocal performance from UCLA. She has performed in at least 6 countries, sung in 6+ languages, written hundreds of songs and instrumental pieces, performed as a soloist in operas, oratorios, requiems, and choral concerts, founded multiple musical groups, and given multiple world premieres of new music by living composers.

Brittany Aquamarine is a California-based singer-songwriter; her music lives in two sound worlds. On solo piano and guitar, she explores Mystic Soulfolk, playing melodies with poetic, abstract lyricism similar to late-60s folk artists like Joni Mitchell (Song to a Seagull) or Nick Drake. These songs are grounded, intimate, and reflective, inclusive of a space for lyrical and emotional exploration.
On keys, she moves into Ethereal Groove, creating jazz-inflected, groove-driven soundscapes that are experimental. You may hear sensibilities of Björk, Portishead, or Sade. In this style, a blend of classical and jazz-influenced piano lands upon steady beats and melodic bass grooves along with evocative lyrics and expressive vocals.
These two modes form a journey from the grounded to the ethereal-from intimate to groove-infused. Across both instruments, her work is anchored by a soulful and thoughtful awareness and a desire to transport listeners through contrasting yet complementary sonic worlds.
Brittany loves to share her passion for music and she believes we all can choose to use the pieces we have to instigate necessary creative expression and connect to others.

Neon Lotus is the creative partnership of Sonoma County musicians David Gray and Kristina Ibarra, joined by top-notch musicians such as Jordan Lyons, Miles McKenzie, Spencer Burrows and Luis Garcia. The band was formed in 2023 with the mission of capturing an eclectic variety of sounds drawing from their influences of jazz, RnB, funk, rock, and more. Their main body of work includes covers of classic and modern tunes reimagined in a fresh and original style that emphasizes rich harmony, deep pocket grooves, and soulful vocals all tempered with an ear for approachability and feel. The band strives for flexibility in their sound, able to perform as a duo providing smaller spaces with a smooth and mellow soundtrack, or a full dance band to rock the house at any event or venue!
Kristina Michelle Ibarra's interest in bold and powerful singing led her to be influenced by a myriad of genres & artists from opera to gospel, jazz, soul, and R&B. A classically trained singer with a penchant for improvisation and vocal dynamism, Kristina infuses passionate storytelling with warm and vibrant vocals that invite the listener into a musical conversation.
David Gray is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger, and band leader. He has a dual appreciation for the approachable and the avant-garde alike, enjoying the ease of listening that comes with mainstream musical trends, but also having a deep interest in music that is not afraid to push boundaries and experiment.
