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 releases, alongside the single Pokeberry Letter (Grammy®-considered for Best American Roots Song), showcase a voice rooted in lyric precision and lived narrative.

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

With more than 1,850 poems and an expanding body of poetic screenplays, including the serialized Midnight Fields project, her work moves seamlessly between page, performance, and cinematic form. 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

Silvia Passiflora is a named artistic entity — the steward of intellectual property shaped from lived experience, particular wounds where things came undone — doing the ongoing work of making sense on unmarked ground 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.
