Kiva (musician)

Kiva Simova is a Canadian harmonic overtone singer, keyboard player, and songwriter, based in Winnipeg, MB, Canada. She is internationally recognized as a western pioneer in world beat/jazz music, particularly the art of harmonic overtone singing (singing two pitches simultaneously) which she both performs, records and teaches. Also known for extended vocal techniques (non-lyrical), she incorporates these techniques in her own group MIDBRAIN SURFERS, an experimental improvisational project. She has composed for overtone choir and directed her own such choir, AURALIA in Prague.
