Igor Iov’s journey didn’t begin with a guitar in hand or a dream of stardom. It started in the sterile confines of an office job—a 9-to-5 grind that promised stability but delivered something far less tangible. Born in Switzerland to Serbian parents, Igor was raised in a world where success was measured in figures and certainty. But behind the desk, in the routine of daily life, he felt a void growing, one that spreadsheets and paychecks couldn’t fill.
In his late twenties, Igor made a choice that many only dream of: he walked away. Away from the comfort of a steady job, away from the expectations that had shaped his early years. He chose music—not as a career, but as a means to reclaim his life. For Igor, music wasn’t an escape; it was an entry point into something real, something honest.
Igor’s songs carry the weight of a man who has seen both sides of the coin. There’s a wisdom in his lyrics, a reflection on the paths not taken, and a quiet understanding that life doesn’t always go according to plan. His music resonates with the disenchanted and the hopeful alike, offering a glimpse into the struggles and triumphs of finding one's place in a world that often feels out of sync.
Igor's music is for those who seek meaning in the chaos, and who long for a connection that goes beyond the superficial. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the most important decisions are the ones that lead us away from what we know and towards what we truly need.

Live on National Radio
2025 • SRF Best Talent with Julie Meletta
Joined Julie Meletta live on national Radio. A snapshot of Swiss pop in motion; and a reminder that French lyrics can go mainstream.

Gurten Festival
2019 • Campfire Stage
Played above the city with my friends from La Gustav, under the clouds, with nothing but a guitar and way too many feelings. A set for the early believers. No hype, just heart.

Fête de la Musique
2022 • Québec
Performed in the streets of Québec with Skyler Wind. Bilingual duets, big hearts, and international airwaves. A moment of connection across continents.
Mozambique, Zimbabwe, South Africa. Played festivals, rooftops, living rooms, and pop-up shows. Learned that music translates even when the language doesn’t.

2024 • RTS 2 "Tout est possible!"
A segment on the dreamers who take the leap. Caught me mid-leap. Still flying. You can watch me improvise some songs live.
My first "real" festival stage ; played like it was Madison Square Garden. Sweaty palms, open sky, pure joy.

2025 • Örnsköldsvik, Sweden
Performed as part of Musikmakarna’s takeover at the Öviksmässan. Shared the stage with future hitmakers, in a town that knows the value of a good melody and a snowstorm.
Also, how do you pronounce this town? wtf?!
