New Zealand native Iva Lamkum’s sultry vocals belie her age. Almost as if she’s been transported from another time, the 20-something singer, songwriter, and guitarist sings with a rich and soulful passion that many would say is lacking in music today. Accompanied by her band, her music showcases many influential elements and genres from rock, jazz, funk, soul, hip hop and even pop–so there’s something for everyone when it comes to Iva’s music. Her debut EP Iva Lamkum (2008) featured two hit singles in her native country: Kung-Fu Grip, and White Roses. Currently, she is touring and working on her next release, due out soon.
