IOVA is a singer and songwriter who has captivated audiences with her talent. She also gained recognition as a solo artist after being part of LaLa Band, Romania’s most famous teen sitcom.
Her breakthrough came in 2015 when she sent a demo to HaHaHa Production, leading to the release of her debut single, Be Like Water, in 2018. Over the past two years, IOVA has taken her artistry to new heights, embracing the challenge of creating 26 songs, which evolved into Bi-Polar: Why tf am I like this?!—a four-act journey (PEOPLE, SEARCHING, HER, SELF) reflecting her personal experiences.
Blending electro-pop with danceable rhythms, IOVA has won over audiences, particularly in Nordic countries. Tracks like Monster (feat. UNDREAM) and Down on My Knees (feat. Paul Damixie) climbed international charts, earning her over 200,000 monthly Spotify listeners.
"I make pop music about topics most avoid—anxiety, failed dates, mediocre sex, codependent relationships, selfish friends. I turn shared experiences into something fresh and captivating. My current project, BI-POLAR: Why tf am I like this?, explores mental health, sexuality, fears, and everyday struggles in a way that makes people see them differently."
