About Ahva
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
At a very early age, my sister played me a Finnish band called Clifters. I didn't know it then, but they mostly performed Finnish versions of songs by The Beatles, The Supremes, and The Who. To me, they were simply the best songs ever written.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Animal Collective, Merriweather Post Pavilion
Dan Deacon, Spiderman of the Rings
All these three combine something unexpected and deeply human with a strong electronic foundation. They are full of machines, samples, and technology, but somehow they feel warm, emotional, and alive.

“Portals”
I love "Portals" because it captures the feeling of stepping into the unknown. It began with a simple loop, but gradually turned into something euphoric, nostalgic, and bigger than I imagined when I first started writing it.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
Playing one of my first festival gigs at Mitäs Mitäs Mitäs in Finland. The tent was already full during soundcheck, so we opened with an improvised song. The connection with the audience was immediate, and the energy carried through the entire set.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
I feel that Ahva is best experienced live. I discovered many of my favorite artists by arriving early at Primavera Sound in Barcelona and stumbling upon bands I knew nothing about. To one day be that band for someone else would be a dream come true.
