FELIVAND

FELIVAND is a vocalist, producer, songwriter and bassist based in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia. Burying shadowy, sombre depths beneath woozy and wistful bedroom-pop exteriors, her sound is a vulnerable and textural branch of Alternative Indie Pop with strong influence from contemporary R&B. Between rich bass lines, warm, jazz- flickered chords, harmonic vocal stacks and crisp percussion, FELIVAND recreates this extraordinary listening experience live with a 4-piece band backing her. Over the years, they have supported the likes of Crumb, Mallrat, Soccer Mommy, Boy & Bear, amongst others.

The story of FELIVAND is that of an artist continually growing into herself. Equipped with a Garageband-outfitted iPad in high school, she spent adolescent lunchtime hours secreted away, toying with recordings, initiating herself into the worlds of production and beat making by absorbing and creating constantly. In the space of these private, unassuming hours, and her discovery of artists like James Blake, Frank Ocean and Kali Uchis, the sound of FELIVAND was cultivated. It’s a synthesis which gave the impression of appearing fully formed when she self-released her debut EP, In Bloom, which now garners over 18 million streams combined. 2022 saw the release of her long-awaited debut album ‘Ties’, garnering praise from Billboard, COLORS, NME, Rage, Bandcamp, triple j and Lyrical Lemonade.
