The Haven Team
At Haven, we’re united by a shared love for creativity, community, and creating safe, supportive spaces where artists can feel comfortable being fully themselves.
Chloë ‘Ronavella’ Rona
Ronavella is a producer, engineer, and vocalist with over 10 years of vocal training, beginning her career as a vocalist before moving into engineering and production. This artist-led background gives her a strong focus on vocal performance, harmonies, songwriting, and bringing out the best in every artist in the room.
She works across multiple genres in both independent and professional studio settings, with a detail-driven, intuitive approach to music-making. After experiencing less welcoming industry environments, she founded Haven Studios to create a safer, more intentional space for artists to create freely and confidently, especially women, non-binary, and LGBTQIA+ creatives.

Resident Mood ManagerXilla
Xilla is Haven’s Resident Mood Manager and full-time Head of Vibes. She specialises in keeping sessions calm, lifting spirits, and enforcing mandatory cuddle breaks when things get a little too intense. Always nearby for moral support (and snacks), she’s here to make sure every session feels a little softer, lighter, and more fun.
Xilla is not present in all sessions, so if you’re allergic to dogs or simply prefer a dog-free environment, just let us know in advance and we’ll make sure everything is set up comfortably for you.
