"Hey, my name is Hiva! (pronounced Hee-vuh) Growing up, I've always had a passion for music. I grew up in a Tongan home that embraced the R&B and Pop music culture. My brothers and I used to sing at family functions all the time and when I was in elementary school, I started taking singing lessons with an amazing vocalist by the name of Ana Tafisi. With her, I would sing gospel music and practice for singing at church functions. In high school, I picked up the guitar and fell in love with playing it. I joined a guitar class but later dropped it because I felt it was much easier to watch YouTube tutorials than sit in a class for hours taking notes. I wanted to showcase my singing talent on social media so I began uploading covers of my favorite R&B songs. It was at that time that I also adopted my social media username "shelovesheeva" which I had taken from a famous Hip-Hop dancer I admired at the time by the name of "SheLovesMeechie". I wrote my first original song during a social media challenge called the "Ten Toes Down Challenge" which blew up on social media, getting over 100K views on Facebook. I took a break from music for a while as I served a religious mission in Papua New Guinea from 2018-2020. Since I've been home, I've been motivated to make original music and have dropped 3 singles. I am focused on making R&B and Pop music as those are the genres I've loved since I was young. My upcoming EP will have tracks from both genres with lots of guitar based beats."
