Yalhivia is a singer-songwriter born to a Balto-Russian mother and a Franco-Swiss artist father. She lives primarily in Geneva, where her musical journey began at an early age.
From a young age, she developed a deep passion for singing and composing. Driven by a constant need to create, she naturally turned to the piano, which she studied rigorously to bring her musical ideas to life. Discovered by the director of the music school (((SDM))), she quickly transitioned from student to teacher, becoming a piano and modern singing instructor for children and teenagers.
Versatile and self-taught, Yalhivia writes and performs her songs in both English and French, exploring a wide range of styles including R&B, ballads, rap, trip-hop, rock, French chanson, blues, and piano bar. Her instrumentals are 100% original creations, entirely produced by herself using synthesizers and her strong sense of rhythm.
She is currently collaborating with the artist KingPrive, with whom she shares a rich and inspired artistic vision.
Yalhivia first performed her original works on stage at the Palladium in Geneva during the New Year's Eve celebration of 2004/2005, in front of more than 650 people. The success of this debut performance strengthened her determination to share her music beyond borders. Now focused on an international path, she continues to pursue her journey with the will to share a sincere, rich, and unique musical universe.
