About

Silvia Passiflora

Full Artist Bio

Silvia Passiflora is a Southern Gothic Folk poet-songwriter and Grammy®-considered artist who guides listeners with ukulele, banjo, and spoken word offering safe passage past life's cliffhangers. Her 2025 twin album releases Incarnata and Florentinae, alongside the single Pokeberry Letter (Grammy®-considered for Best American Roots Song), showcase a voice rooted in lyric precision and lived narrative.

Her debut poetry collection, Aurora Cantus: A Poet's Book of Hours (Scriptaluna Press, 2026), extends that narrative into the devotional hours of a Southern year.

Born in the Philippines and carried to Hawaii's shores, Passiflora grew up among gardens and kitchens, learning the craft and the discipline of observation. A classically trained chef, certified master gardener, certified sommelier, and meticulous keeper of metadata, she gathers each discipline like heirloom seeds, carrying them into her creative life on stage and in the studio.

Nearing 2,000 poems and an expanding body of work across page and performance, her catalog reflects a rare wit and a distinctive narrative signature.

Traveling across Athens, Atlanta, Charleston, and Nashville, her performances capture the electricity between a story and the crowd leaning in to hear.

Southern Gothic Folk

Witness is one of the oldest pillars of Southern storytelling, and this is where Silvia Passiflora lives. What the genre calls darkness is more precisely grief over what dies unrecorded — truth that didn't survive the telling. That grief produces urgency to write, to publish, and make permanent on record. Safe passage means making sure the record exists before the moment closes.

On the Nature of This Entity, a Colophon

Silvia Passiflora is a named artistic entity — the steward of intellectual property shaped from lived experience, leaving markers for those who travel the same path.

From that land, Scriptaluna LLC was established as its governing map, drawn to hold the territory and make it legible. Scriptaluna Press emerged as its living library, where those markings are gathered, kept, and made available.

One human stands behind all three. The work moves across them with intention, like a forest growing over time.
