Raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, singer-songwriter-producer Ana Schon thrives in multiplicity. She was born in 2002 into a musical family, and has never stopped singing, writing songs, learning new musical tools, and performing since.
Her 2 main musical projects are latin-indie-folk duo Borneo, with guitarist Mateo Monk, and a solo project of songs in English and Spanish known as "Ana Schon & the Reunion" in their live performances.
She is currently based in boston, MA, where she is a master's student at the MIT media lab researching music technology for expressive performance spaces.
