IHIVA MUSIC
About IHIVA
A band built on unity, energy, and world embracing sound
Ihiva is a high‑energy, female‑fronted reggae fusion band based on the Gold Coast and Brisbane. Our music is built on movement, rhythm that lifts, lyrics that connect, and a sound shaped by cultures, stories, and the shared pulse of people coming together. We create music that feels alive: uplifting, grounded, and unmistakably ours.
Our Story
Ihiva began with a simple intention: to make music that wasn’t just heard, but felt. What started as a spark grew into a collective of musicians who shared the same vision to build something powerful, positive, and deeply connected.
The band formed naturally, one member at a time, through friendships, shared stages, and the kind of musical chemistry you can’t manufacture. Every addition to Ihiva arrived at the right moment, bringing their own energy, story, and influence. That organic growth shaped the sound we have today.
As we evolved, so did our identity. We blended reggae roots with world rhythms, soulful vocals, and a live presence that has become our signature. Ihiva isn’t just a band, it’s a movement of unity, uplift, and connection.
What We Stand For
At the heart of IHIVA is a simple belief:
Music is a bridge.
A bridge between cultures.
A bridge between people.
A bridge between energy, emotion, and experience.
Our songs carry messages of love, resilience, and togetherness. We want people to feel seen, moved, and connected, whether they're dancing in a crowd, listening alone, or discovering us for the first time.

A Note From Tara
"Yes, we can build bridges out of the walls that keep us apart by transforming separation into connection. Every time we choose understanding over judgment, rhythm over noise, and unity over division, we turn a wall into a pathway. Our music creates spaces where people who might never meet can stand together, feel together, and remember that we're more alike than we are different. That's how the healing begins, one shared moment, one shared rhythm, one shared heartbeat at a time"
