Album Notes

Avian X is a new electro-pop project of Natalia Ivashkevitch, who's music at times reminiscent of Blondie, Shiny Toy Guns, Depeche Mode and Madonna.

Speaking Russian, Polish and English, Natalia started her career in Eastern Europe (place of birth- St.Petersburg, Russia) but moved to New York to further her musical ambitions. She received help from master producer Josh Harris who produced 'Electrosoul V.2'as well as her new album 'Promise of the sky' and mixed up Natalia's powerful delivery with a steady rock sensibility.

After recording and self-releasing her debut EP in 2006, Natalia toured in the North East and shared stage with Shiny Toy Guns, Kill Hannah, Clear Static, Your Vegas, Aerodrone and The Annix.

Apart from being a great live performer Natalia is a winner of numerous awards for her songwriting talent. Her song, FEARS, was a winning song in VH-1s Song of the Year contest, judged by an elite panel consisting of Grammy award winners as well as individuals from Rolling Stone, ABC Television and more. // 2005 Broadjam showcase winner Natalia was picked out of 500 Artists nationwide to perform at New England Musicians Expo 2005. // 2006/2007 - 'FEARS' & 'BECAUSE OF YOU' (co-written with M. Aleksandrowicz) were awarded by Billboard World Songwriting Competition-Memorable mention for the talent and dedication it takes to write a hit song .

Avian X opened the show last night, playing a potent blend of pop, rock and electronica. She fired up the crowd in her sassy yellow-black outfit. I had not seen Avian perform live yet, but boy, does she have a great stage presence. Love "Dark Circles." Such a mesmerizing track.

We've been sort of averse to this act for a while, writing most of the tracks off as chintzy diva-pop B-sides that you'd find in 15 second bits on MTV during their soap opera-styled "shows", but our bluff has been called this time. Darkwave synth pop that only an eastern European can pull off, Avian X just completed work on a new remix from French hotness, Kolt 13 (you might remember his work on that Tigersapien electro stomper "God Knows") that's a four minute and thirteen second grower of a remix that focuses intently on the stuttered beats from the producer's chair and Natalia's icy, lusty, all-too-dangerous voice. You'll be hooked right in, webbed up and frozen.

The Culture of me


Avian X - Dark Circles Previously from St. Petersburg, Russia but now working out of New York City comes Natalia Ivashkevitch aka Avian X. The beginning of this track instantly reminds me of Tekken Tag Tournament for the weird vocal. From here the track demonstrates the interesting darker edge that Pop music can take.

Who exactly is this Avian X? Known by here given name in some [dark] circles, Natalia Ivashkevitch is Russian born but resides in Connecticut now. She is trilingual (English, Russian and Polish), and creates dance/rock music that is inspired by Depeche Mode, Shiny Toy Guns, IAMX, Madonna, etc. My advice to you is to keep an eye and an ear out for this dynamo. 2009 is going to be very kind to Avian X.
