IWAN Ignites with the Release of Two Singles — “WAIT” AND “WARRIORS” — Unleashing Emotion, Power, and Purpose


Rising from the heart of the modern rock revolution, IWAN have arrived with not one, but two thunderous statements of intent. Their brand-new singles — “Wait” and “Warriors” — mark a bold step forward in the IWAN’s sonic evolution, blending anthemic power with raw emotion, and proving once again that rock’s heartbeat is alive and roaring.

“Warriors” is a battle cry for the broken yet unyielding. With searing vocals and a relentless groove, the track delivers a message of defiance and survival in a world that often tries to silence individual power.

“Wait” takes a more introspective turn-digging into the emotional wreckage of a toxic breakup and the spiritual warfare that comes with healing from it. Both songs showcase IWAN’s signature sound: a visceral mix of heavy guitars, haunting melodies, and lyrical vulnerability.

IWAN isn’t just a new artist-she’s a force,” says producer Tamas Vajda, who helped bring her vision to life at Savaria Studios in Brooklyn, NY. “She’s got the story, the voice, and the fire. You don’t hear it-you *feel* it.”

With early support and growing attention on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, IWAN is quickly becoming one of the most compelling new voices in modern rock. Fans have responded to her authenticity, visual intensity, and fearless voice with emotional clarity-qualities that set her apart ina crowded field.

Her journey-from law enforcement to the frontlines of music-is as bold and unapologetic as her sound. And with more releases lined up in the coming months, IWAN is just getting started.

Both tracks showcase IWAN’s dynamic range and fearless songwriting — two sides of the same coin that define who they are: passionate, powerful, and unapologetically real.

Listen to IWAN now on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and all major platforms.
