Ivy is the co-owner of Umeus Cloth, a clothing line run by herself and Geoffrey Jenkins, the former vocalist of Gwen Stacy.[7] Umeus cloth sponsors bands such as Threat Signal, Stray from the Path, I the Breather and Malefice. On April 2, 2011 Ivy Vujic married Jenkins[8]
Ivy is currently playing bass guitar in a Metal band called Speedgod, from Lansing, MI with her husband Geoff Jenkins on vocals. In June 2013 they released a 3 song compilation dubbed "the Summer 2013 Demos" [9] which is available for free download on the official website.[10] Speedgod played their first show at Uli's Haus of Rock in Lansing, MI on June 10, 2013 with Losing September and Fall II Rise.
