"As a Performer, Ilyana has huge emotional range and is in touch with a process to get there.  She is soulful...especially in her eyes, bringing the whole spirit to her work. She is massively passionate and invested in all she does."

    I am very inspired by my roles in activist performance projects that Include:
“True Body Project” at The Brooklyn Museum, a performance instillation about empowering girls and women to connect to their true bodies and voices. “Birth”, a play about women’s birth rights,
"Becoming Natasha", (co-produced by Amnesty International) about global sex trafficking of women and children;  CultureProject's Impact Festival about military crimes; and as a producer & performer of a music concert for World Wildlife Federation and Eve Ensler's V-day festival, to benefit the organization’s commitment to ending the cycle of violence against women around the globe.

In '99, I met my creative partner in crime, James Harrell, a fantastically talented multi-instrumentalist and composer. Together we have co-written and produced multi-media pieces as the duo Lythion, that bring together our diverse backgrounds as humans and artists.    . We started own company, LythionMusic Productions in 2007.
We compose original music for film, television, radio and stage.
In 2011, we co-produced and co-composed the music for the documentary film, "Separate, But Equal", (winner of 2011 HBO Documentary Film Award) about the photographer Henry Clay Anderson from Mississippi, whose collection of photos will be a permanent part of The Smithsonian Museum’s of African American History and Culture in 2016.
