Niva is Stockholm’s dream pop supremo Christian Niva. Christian has been active for a long time as a producer, singer and dj. He released two mini-eps as The Quietboy back in 2007, but as Niva he has reinvented himself and gotten world wide recognition. He has just released the debut EP “Feverish Dreams” on London label Something In Construction (Air France, The Concretes, Memory Tapes and Loney Dear etc) and gotten great reviews in big newspapers such as The Guardian. He’s also doing remixes on a steady basis and has done fantastic takes on Blackbird Blackbird, Palpitation and Jonathan Johansson. Live on stage he plays with a full band setup and he also does DJ sets.
