IVA is an operatic singer-songwriter, a genre she mastered with “Run.” IVA has taken a hard left from her prior opera career to popular music, bringing her magnificent voice to her reflective lyrics. She has been heard on NPR and tastemaker radio, featured in Billboard and NBC’s Conan O’Brian Show, and tapped in “Who’s Next” by M Musicians Magazine.

Reviews for “Run” from streaming release
“This is a wonderful new release from IVA that captures her at the height of her artistic powers. Featuring the breathtaking vocal acrobatics for which she has become known, Run is a powerful artistic reflection on…the emotional struggles… and the search for transcendence… hugely uplifting and inspirational.” - Alex Faulkner, The Faulkner Review of “Run”, Jan 27, 2022
“IVA captures an undeniable yearning spirit with “Run”. Quite beautifully, she updates psychedelic rock and dream pop in her own unique way… Sonically IVA draws from the stately presence of Nico and Beach House. Her voice proves to be the very heart and soul of the piece. Genre-wise… snippets of shoegaze, ambient, and electro enter into the equation giving it that living breathing aspect about it.” - Beachsloth Review of “Run”, Jan 25, 2022
