Indyana Schneider is an international opera singer and novelist from Sydney, Australia. She studied Music at Oxford University and Opera at the Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien in Hanover, completing her training at the prestigious International Opera Studio of the Zurich Opera. Indyana now performs full-time across the UK, Austria, France, Germany, Switzerland and Australia. 

Between her music studies, Indyana wrote her debut novel, 28 Questions, on the tube while working in development in London's third sector. Her second novel, Since the World is Ending, was drafted in countless airports, train stations, and friends' living rooms as her singing career took her around the world. 

When not writing or performing, she is a keen and clumsy salsa dancer, a messy cook and a short-distance runner.
