New Zealand musician Jiv holds a collective lyrical and melodic set of distinctive music. Referencing mainstream rappers like Juice WRLD and Polo G. Raised in New Zealand, he quickly grew inspiration out of pop artists ranging from Bruno Mars and Charlie Puth. It wasn't until he first listened to Kendrick Lamar when he fell in to the genre of rap. He soon then started freestyling at school with his friends for fun, unknowingly strengthening his talent on rapping.
He stumbled across an underground rapper "Juice TheKidd" and instantly loved the melodic rap style. Not long after, he decided to start creating music. He adopted the name "jiv" as a nickname "because people at his school called him that."
