Take a step back

SHEIVA (UK)

"playful genre-hopping expressions of rage and exasperation"

Bio provided by artist:
Unrestrained, genre-defying and unapologetic, SHEIVA’s music is a culmination of the themes of nonconformity that they encompass in every aspect of their life. Drawing upon their experience as a queer Iranian, born and bred in South-East London, SHEIVA’s music boasts livid lyricism paired with rule-breaking musical stylings, and through ineffaceable live performances and radio appearances, has quickly cemented their spot as a central figure of London’s underground music scene. 

With a unique way of converting feelings of rage and exasperation at the world around them into a palpable witty and playful experience for their audience, SHEIVA’s live show is a ferocious trip to a multiverse that you’ll never want to leave. Their ever-growing live set is one that will undoubtedly electrify festival stages and underground venues alike.

A self-described ‘music magpie’, SHEIVA’s musical inspirations span everything from the traditional Iranian sounds they took from their summers at their family home, to pop music they would swap and share with their friends in school.  In both their life and creative practice, they defy boundaries and definitions.
