Biography

Ian Charles Bouras is a guitarist and producer from New York City.

He is one of the main songwriters, and the guitar player for NYC rock/reggae band AñaVañA.

AñaVañA’s self-titled debut record (2004) showcases his songwriting, guitar playing and producing.

Ian was nominated among the top Billboard Songwriters for the year 2003 and 2004 for his work with AñaVañA.

AñaVañA’s second release entitled R*U*B, which Ian produced, played guitar, and bass on, and mixed, was called: “Sophisticated and musically brilliant… a magnetic hybrid of music… a refreshing 2nd full length record… a distinct sound-from shy to outright strident” --- RACHEL ROKICKI (The Deli Magazine)

Since receiving his audio engineering degree in 2003, Ian has produced, mixed, and played on records in all genres from rock to spoken word, and now is working as a freelance audio engineer.

His first ambient solo release on SDMP Records, entitled “A Cure For Reality” has Ian producing, playing guitar, keys, and bass, programming drums, and mixing. Approaching the recording process as both a musician, and audio engineer, has led to an amazing result.

Ian is continuing work as an engineer on several projects to be released throughout 2007, and is in pre-production for his next solo offering.
