Schuyler Iona is a writer, musician, and composer based in New York City. She is currently a lyricist in the BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Workshop and holds a BFA in Music Composition and Performance from the California Institute of the Arts.

Her music draws from an eclectic mix of influences—from folk and pop to musical theatre and punk—resulting in compositions marked by rich harmonic textures and intricate, expressive guitar work. In addition to performing live, Schuyler shares storytelling comedy songs and sharp social critique on her growing social media platforms, where her wit and musicianship have found an enthusiastic and expanding audience.

She has opened for artists such as Ellis Paul and Loudon Wainwright III and has collaborated with notable Broadway performers and directors, including Michael Greif (Rent, Next to Normal, Dear Evan Hansen).

Schuyler is currently writing The Maker and the Muse, an original musical inspired by the early lives of Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe.

A poet at heart, she finds inspiration in everyday life and continues to grow in front of audiences as a writer, musician, teacher, and humanitarian.
