Lianna Jean and Interior Wild
Lianna Jean and Interior Wild

Interior Wild is the sonic altar of singer-songwriter Lianna Jean, a genre-defying artist who blends Southern rock grit, gospel fire, and poetic folk into a sound that feels both ancient and immediate. Raised across the U.S. and shaped by the contradictions of the Southern Baptist South, Lianna carries a heritage as complex as her sound—Pacific Islander, Asian, Hispanic, and Caucasian roots woven into a life lived in liminal spaces. Too queer, too mixed, too outspoken—she learned early what it meant to be othered. Interior Wild is her answer: music as reclamation, testimony, and survival.

Drawing influence from artists like Nina Simone, Hozier, Brandi Carlile, Stevie Nicks, and Zach Bryan, her songs are emotionally raw, vocally rich, and spiritually charged. They confront religious trauma, identity, longing, and defiant selfhood—all without asking permission. Her performances are part ritual, part rebellion—whether in a stripped-down acoustic set or surrounded by a full band featuring lead guitar, organ, bass, drums, and occasional violin.

Interior Wild isn’t just about the music—it’s about building community through truth-telling. Lianna treats storytelling as a sacred act, using her songs to hold space for the misfits, the memory-keepers, and the reckoners. Her debut album is in production, and she’s preparing for regional festivals and live performances in 2025 that blend music with living activism.
