Ivan Ave

Norwegian Hip-Hop Artist

Ivan signed with Berlin based Jakarta Records in 2014 to release Low Jams, a five track phenomenon produced by Stones Throw artist Mndsgn. The EP was described by Okayplayer.com as “an enveloping head nodder that peppers irresistible grooves with vivid double-entendres and exists in the same elusive strata of true school perfection occupied by Nas’ debut Illmatic LP.” In 2015 Ivan and long time collaborator Fredfades released another duo project, entitled Fruitful LP. In early 2016 Jakarta Records released Ivan's debut solo LP "Helping Hands", produced exclusively by Mndsgn. His second solo LP is currently taking shape, in Oslo and Los Angeles.
