Establishing herself early on as a house DJ, the young artist has recently turned her attention to where her passion truly lies: songwriting. Categorised as 'lush and ethereal' on Spotify, her lyrics entice the listener to sing along.

Drawing influence from artists such as Biig Piig and Jorja Smith, Shiv has been crafting her debut release. Other inspirations came from Orion Sun, Arlo Parks, H.E.R and FELIVAND.

Shiv, real name Siobhan McClean, also holds a degree in Psychology from UCD.
