Here is Iahn's BIO:


Genre: Acoustic -Singer/Songwriter, Country & Progressive Lite Rock

Influences: the Beatles, James Taylor, Jimmy Buffet and many more...


Hailing from a long line of entertainers, Iahn’s appetite to perform was cultivated as early as the 3rd grade. By the time he attended Terrell Middle School in Terrell, TX, Iahn was absolutely unshakable in his determination to forge his dream into reality, when a young Eric Bishop inspired him to dream as big as he wanted and Iahn could see then what the entire world knows now as the incomparable talent of Jamie Foxx.

Born in Athens, TX on November 7, 1968, Iahn began writing songs at the age of 15. By his twenties he had crafted a number of songs and began showcasing them. Moving to Nevada in 1987, Iahn pursued his goal of being a professional musician, even hosting a Saturday songwriting workshop based on Harvey Rachlin’s The Songwriter’s Handbook .

Iahn Xeltenatat (RL: Jahn Burns) has performed in venues throughout Reno & Las Vegas, NV, Lake Tahoe, Sacramento, San Francisco & Las Angeles, CA, as well as Phoenix, AZ and of course, Dallas, TX.

In December of 2007, Iahn was diagnosed with end-stage renal failure, and soon received a life-saving transplanted kidney from his RL twin brother, John (aka Funky Texan in SL.)

Better than ever, he is ready to perform once again and has decided the platform of Second Life is where he will revitalize his music career.


Accolades:

“Iahn Xeltentat is that kind of singer who possesses a unique vocal personality, which really reminds me of Chris de Burgh. An intuitive songwriter who truly knows what a song needs to really “pop”. It was a joy to work closely with such a talent . It’s just a matter of time until that magical moment when everyone agrees.” (-Tom Gordon, pro Drummer & Chief Recording Engineer)

“Iahn is the REAL deal...he’s got the goods.” (-Tony “2tymz” Trevino, Bass Guitarist)

“I seldom come across someone with a gift that needs to be heard. Iahn colors outside the lines and is belongs in the musical market.” (-Dennis Leonard, Singer/Songwriter)
