ionnalee (Jonna Lee of iamamiwhoami) will present her latest live digital installation KONSERT on September 2, 2020, following the cancellation of her headline world tour due to COVID-19. In the spirit of her previous digital concert installations IN CONCERT (2010) and CONCERT IN BLUE (2015), KONSERT will celebrate ionnalee's decade-spanning body of audiovisual work and stellar electronic music, from her boundary-pushing collaborations with Claes Björklund as iamamiwhoami through her new acclaimed solo work.
"As I can't be where you are I welcome you to my island to overlook our past, celebrate the now and look forward to the future with us and our invited guests, awaiting your arrival," ionnalee shared. "The concert will be free for all to enjoy as times are hard for a lot of us right now. If you have the ability to donate to support my work with this production I'll be very thankful."
What ionnalee started as an anonymous YouTube channel in 2010 with the account name iamamiwhoami shortly evolved into a powerful series of full length audiovisual albums, installations, films and a media frenzy around her identity. 10 years later, she has become a rare musical and cultural phenomenon - an independent artist selling out tour dates worldwide with the support of a devoted and fiercely protective global fanbase and, with the launch of her label To whom it may concern. in 2010, forming a creative hub for herself and her collaborators. To date, ionnalee's audiovisual projects have earned over 80 million views on YouTube and 60 million streams on Spotify.

ionnalee's latest release, compilation album KRONOLOGI, was spontaneously launched this spring as in reaction to the cancellation of her headline world tour. The KRONOLOGI playlist was created in real time and offered a weekly release of demos, live takes, alternative versions and previously unreleased material. Each new addition to the project was produced, mixed and mastered by ionnalee while in quarantine, and her original watercolour paintings became single covers, offering her fans some isolation comfort for 12 weeks.
ionnalee's sophomore solo album, REMEMBER THE FUTURE, was released in 2019 to acclaim from Pitchfork, Billboard, Brooklyn Vegan, V Magazine, Nylon and more and included contributions from Röyksopp, Zola Jesus and Jennie Abrahamson.
Beyond her solo work, ionnalee has been masthead of Röyksopp's live shows for the past years including performing as part of their acclaimed show at Coachella 2017.She followed her first solo album and feature film, EVERYONE AFRAID TO BE FORGOTTEN, with a world tour funded through Kickstarter in just 5 days. The hugely successful tour sold out dates across Europe, US, and Latin America.
