Toxic Temptation

JARV’s lifelong love affair with music has deep roots, sprouting in the ‘70s influenced by six older siblings always spinning tunes.  Festivals have been a crucial part of his fabric since his first taste at Sweetwaters ‘83.  JARV’s sets reflect his broad musical palette, recreating his journey from  the reggae-infused snow and surf of Whanganui via the psychedelic experience of cave living in India and the melting pot that was the exploding dance culture of early ‘90s London. Now based in Tāmaki Makaurau, JARV's experimentation across music’s multiple genres continues to evolve. He knows how to party and how to bring the party.

I was interested in music in my early youth... so I soon got my first synthesizer and set up a small home recording studio.
over the years i played keyboards in 5 bands...the direction was rock...pop...blues and soul.
in the meantime i have discovered my enthusiasm for creating my own songs.
it makes me happy when I can compose...arrange...mix...produce and create something new.
it's like a passion to experiment with different styles of music... and it gives me a lot of joy.
the only limit is your imagination...
is my motto.
and everything is possible...you just have to try.

music is pure magic...and part of the soul...
no one can escape her
let the music guide your mind...and that's the only way you'll get the freedom...you've always wanted

ALTERNATIVE ELECTRONIC Singer-Songwriter Musician and Producer. Welcome to MY FANTASY WORLD. Performing LIVE since May 2024
Piano is my primary instrument, some clarinette,drummer and singer in an all girl beginner level punk band, learning bass, guitar and ukelele!
My compositions and lyrics are expressions of my personality and life experiences. I love punk and electro rock, techno, trance, experimental, groovy and stuff that has no genre.  I have no boundaries in either subject matter or style. Music has consumed my soul and is my driving force in life.
**** Let the Love for Music Rule****

      However, I still want to get my compositions out to the world. There is a lot & lot more that I have made and wayyyy more coming, and I WILL  NEVER BE DONE :o)

       Do you want to collaborate with me? I am good with that !!! I listen to music as my way, igniting a fire in my soul, as I have always done. 
      Now I'm learning the programming, and I am able to get actual melodies out of my head!  I get to express my feelings, happy ,deep, dark emotions that have been buried in my so so very long..,and listening to my own tracks, and it feels great! It is so humbling to me 🥲
