aivi is a Vietnamese-American music composer and producer. ​They’re half of the award-winning duo aivi & surasshu, who composed and produced music for Cartoon Network's Steven Universe, Ikenfell (Original Game Soundtrack), and indie game Way to the Woods. ​They initiated the musician-led movement to recognize digital fusion as a music genre, and founded Infloresce Records in 2022. ​Aivi started playing piano at age 5, and discovered a love for playing video game songs by ear. At age 10, they took a music technology class and learned about MIDI. They soon began transcribing MIDIs for the Video Game Music Archive and composing original MIDI music. Aivi continued to study music in university, and received a Bachelor of Arts with Honors in music theory and composition. From childhood to present day, they've had the privilege of learning from many teachers with a variety of backgrounds and approaches. Their hybrid background in electronic production and classical composition led to their unique musical style, where both duet and intertwine. They're married to chiptune composer Surasshu and live in California with their child and two cats. 💙 Bandcamp: https://aiviwave.bandcamp.com 💙 Website: https://aivitran.com
