Debora Kay Iyall is a Cowlitz Native American artist and activist best known as the front woman for the new wave group Romeo Void. Iyall was born in Washington but raised in California. When she was just 14, Iyall participated in the Occupation of Alcatraz island. Iyall attended San Francisco Art Institute where she met her bandmates and formed Romeo Void in 1979. Iyall was acclaimed for her unqiue vocal delivery (which resembled spoken-word poetry). With hits such as "Never Say Never" and "A Girl in Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing)", Romeo Void solidified their status as an iconic punk act. The band split in 1985 and Iyall released a solo album to moderate reviews. She then returned to visual art, teaching young Native artists crafts such as screen printing. In 2019, Iyall was named a Lifetime Achievement Honoree at the Annual Native American Music Awards.
