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.

AYO is the solo project of danish composer, producer and sound artist Julie Schønherr Rosengreen.
AYO has been touring all over Europe since 2015. She has been playing in Morocco and The United States.
Some of the festivals she performed at includes Boom Festival, Ozora Festival, Freqs of Nature festival, Anthropos, Hadra and The Rendezvous - Tipper&Friends in Florida.
She has been performing for The Danish National Bank, at the beautiful Thorvaldsens Museum in Copenhagen, composed music for the theater play “Anna Walk With Me” and currently she is working both with installation art and performance art, making interactive and generative sound with plants, water and the human body. 
In 2020 she released her debut album Moto on Sofa Beats records. This was followed by several single & compilation releases on labels like Microcosmos records, Altar records and the danish female label SØNTH collective.
Her second album is soon due for release.

AYO strives to send a message of a more harmonious cohesion with nature, with each other and with ourselves. By incorporating nature elements into her performance, she tries to give nature back the voice it has lost. Giving the listener a chance to emphasise with it, by letting plants and water generate the sounds they hear, in an always evolving and generative pattern, which makes every performance new and unique.
Combining that with playing live hardware synths and her classical influenced compositions, the listener is presented with an experience of nature meeting electronics and the deeper emotional self -floating in to a world of dreamy and melodic soundscapes, dynamic pads, processed foleys and recorded ambience.
AYO has been playing and composing music since she was a child. With a background as a violinist and as a classical musician, the ambient genre was later a place where she felt at home and where she could express and unfold herself freely. 
She has a bachelor degree in electronic music and sound art from The Danish National Academy of Music. Here she has honed her expression and further developed her "voice" in order to be able to stand stronger with her message and vision.

Experimental electronics, forever crushing on pop
