About In Love & War
Koi Anunta is the founding and sole permanent member of IN LOVE & WAR. She is a Yale graduate and medical doctor who gave up medicine in order to pursue her love of music full-time in Los Angeles—primarily on electric violin, but also occasional keyboards and backup vocals.
She was classically trained in piano since the age of 4 and violin since the age of 8. The day she decided to leave behind classical music was during her NY All-State Piano audition at age 14, when she received one point off her otherwise perfect score because the judge thought that her “ritardando was slightly too slow.” Realizing that she was the kind of person who preferred to color outside the lines, Koi soon discovered and became heavily influenced by the groundbreaking Nine Inch Nails, as well as Depeche Mode, Garbage, Portishead, Tori Amos, and Massive Attack.
The first electronic rock song she ever wrote, sang, and recorded was actually played on the Top 40 radio station in her hometown of Buffalo, NY when she was 15—only to have it mocked, live on the air, by the DJ with superimposed barnyard animal noises.
Although Koi still went on to form her first college rock band at 16, toured the country with her Yale a cappella group, and always continued to write songs for her own personal benefit, she never felt completely comfortable showing anyone her work or singing in public ever again until 2018, when she met a producer in Los Angeles who insisted on hearing one of her private song demos. His unwavering belief in her talent encouraged her to rediscover her voice. Thus, the debut IN LOVE & WAR EP, Tessitura, was born as the result of essentially a lifetime of melodies and lyrics that were always held back in fear—until now.
Koi performed all the vocals and played all the instruments on Tessitura with the exception of the drums (Mike Di Guglielmo), and on the track “Tell Me You’ll be There,” guitar (Jake Faun) and flute (Ricky Berger).
Tessitura was produced by Koi Anunta, mixed by Ali Nikou (Blaster Master Productions), and mastered by Andrew Balogh (Capitol Records). It will be released worldwide in January 2019.
