The Story
Arjana and Ivan (and The Gingersnap Band) are founded by singer Arjana Vizulis and pianist Ivan Danylets. They are an acoustic duo based in New York City known for their unique takes and creative arrangements of tunes new and old. Non-discriminating in genre blending and fusion, they mix their love of the sincerity of a good melody with their creative reinterpretation of a song. Their influence comes from their unique mix of backgrounds: Arjana as a musical theater and jazz singer and violinist from NYC, and Ivan, a Jazz pianist from Ukraine with years in pop and rock bands. It's safe to say there are no rules for these two and nothing is off limits; blending anything and everything in the name of musical freshness, fun, the message of a song and the spirit it evokes, and, as Gingersnap, mixing up their sound with various instruments from bass to trumpet, and even a tap dancer!
Arjana and Ivan met in a rock band on cruise ships back in 2014 and have been collaborating and evolving their sound ever since. Since forming their duo in 2017, they've grown to include special collaborations, radio appearances, jazz club performances in their home city of NYC and internationally such as Bangkok, Melbourne, Kyoto, residencies including the Ritz Carlton in Osaka Japan, and the inaugural ceremony of the new ship "Carnival Horizon." Their debut album "Us Now" was released in 2017, and their second album, "Caribbean Manhattan" out February 2020. Arjana and Ivan finally got married in Costa Rica in January of 2022, so these newlyweds have a lot to be grateful for. Exciting projects are on the forefront for the duo as well as their Gingersnap Band!
