ŽIVA
IVA is a "supremely talented" Swedish-American singer, songwriter, and opera star known for her cinematic pop. Princeton & Juilliard trained, she sang at the Swedish Royal Opera while a Universal pop artist. She is the youngest "Swedish American of the Year." Her diverse career features NBC's Conan, Billboard, and NPR. An elite mentor, she coaches artists to top music schools, Broadway, TV & film.
Being a frontwoman of one of the most successful Croatian rock bands Punčke, Lucija Ivšić is no stranger to the music scene. Her new bilingual music project ŽIVA establishes her as an Australia-based artist firmly rooted in Slavic heritage while fearlessly pushing the boundaries by combining elements of Slavic-pop, trip-hop, darkwave, and R&B. Equipped with only a small audio interface, keyboard, microphone, and laptop, ŽIVA performs her original music live on stage and creates a dark and unique mix bound to get you dancing. Building on her heritage from the Croatian region of Slavonija, Lucija’s new appearance as ŽIVA aims to blend modern sounds with the ones reflecting her hometown of Vinkovci and the culture she grew up in. Being raised in the fertile and green lands of the country, symbolically, the name itself translates as “being alive” while also representing the poisonous chemical element mercury.
