Hi, thank you for stopping by my page! I’ve been an indie artist since I was 16, and I’m a full-time researcher in neurobiology at UCLA. But that’s another story. I sing/perform/produce everything you hear on my songs - pop, rock, R&B, electronic, dance, folk, acoustic…I love it all! I try to take a stubbornly “open” approach to songwriting – let it come organically from the soul, but the poetry should be thought-provoking and respect the role of the listener’s interpretation of art. Every song is a labor of love, tirelessly revised for your ears and released into the wilderness to find love wherever it does. Catch me playing live in SoCal a couple times a month – check out my website www.shivan-music.com for more info and join my mailing list!
