Hey :) I'm IVA (singer-songwriter and producer) and behind this name is me, Linnea. Music has always been my way of communicating. Ever since my teenage years, I've been writing songs. In fact, it became my way of expressing myself as a child, my way of saying things that I couldn't always find words for. The songs were my salvation through life's ups and downs.

But when I won Popstars at the age of 19 in 2014, it was as if the trophy came with a prize of challenges. The door to fame was glittering but hard to step into. I tried to fit into the perfect pop brand, but in the process, I became estranged from my own music. Therefore, I did one of the hardest things I've ever done; I left music behind for three years.

During that time, I was like a shadow of myself. Music was my entire identity, but without it, I felt lost. Slowly but surely, I rediscovered music, but this time it was different. I felt the urge to create something new, a whole new name and universe where I could be completely and authentically myself. And then IVA was born. It became my space where I could express myself authentically.

Since then, my songs have been filled with this resurrected love for music. They're about the pain of saying goodbye to music and finding hope again. I don't just want to create music for myself, but music that can touch others and give them courage to pursue their dreams.

In the summer of 2023, I released my debut EP, and since then, I've also stepped into the role of a producer. Behind every song lies a desire to express my own journey through life. My music stems from my own experience of getting lost and finding myself again. I'm passionate about sharing my journey, about telling the story of how we can become stronger by listening to our hearts. For me, losing my music wasn't just a bump in the road, it was my biggest breakthrough – not just as an artist, but as myself.

Hello - thank you for listening - it means a load <3
