Sivz
Sivz is an artist born out of relentless hard work and true passion for the party. Starting in the crowd, she tornado’d her way through Vancouver’s electronic music scene, leading several local initiatives of her own and put herself on the map for her memorable and versatile sets at her MIA and Gorg-O-Mish After-hours residencies. The last few years have involved her regularly sharing Canada’s most desirable club and festival stages with the biggest names in house music including Green Velvet, Chris Lake, Claude Vonstroke, Mark Knight, Claptone and Dusky to name a few. When she’s not supporting prolific acts , Sivz is busy making a name for herself by embarking on an annual tour of the Canadian music festival circuit with bookings at the prestigious Bass Coast, Snowbombing Canada, Contact, Future Forest, and Fvded in The Park among others.
Sitting on a unique boundary where she delivers the hits of catchy house music while also using her influence to introduce the sounds of the underground, she appeals to the tastes of a wide variety of audiences, often playing the most talked about sets of the weekends she’s a part of. A connoisseur of all things house, Sivz’s music collection spans from loungey house to the darkest warehouse techno. You can trust in her chameleon-like ability to deliver the right vibe for any setting, or join others in appreciating the way she fluidly transitions through the 4x4 sub-genres to leave you in drastically different places from where you started. Catch a set and you’ll notice her undeniable passion for music instantly- bass-facing, head-banging, and singing every word as she fearlessly leads her crowds deep into house heaven. When her set’s all done, she’ll even happily ditch the backstage life to boogie right next to you where the music’s loudest, never getting enough.
In the studio, Sivz gravitates towards simplicity, intricate percussion, rolling basslines and dominant vocals as her ultimate tools for expression, most often commended by her peers for her lyric writing, ear for finding the perfect vocalists to bring her lyrics to life, and her flair with percussion. Her releases have received endless support from her dedicated fan base and fellow producers, repetitively landing her records in Beatport’s charts. After spending time sharpening her production skills with the mentorship of Westend and Return of The Jaded, in 2021, her All Night EP on DeepNHeat was quick to turn many heads, ranking as the #1 release in Electro House Release, and #8 in House Releases.
Moving forward, Sivz is working on honing her sound even further to land her records on dream labels like Repopulate Mars, South of Saturn, Hood Politics, Toolroom, and Defected while looking to load up on gigging opportunities to take the Sivz tornado of positive energy across North America.
