Biography

“Music never left my side”

Ivan, known as iif(if I forget), grew up active and full of creativity. Whether it was sports, gaming, or skiing, he chased every interest with the same self-taught drive. If something caught his attention, he learned it on his own. That discipline and creativity show up in every part of his life today, from producing music to coding websites to understanding how to market what he believes in.

Music started calling when he was fourteen. Watching his brother remix songs opened a new world for him. It lit a fire that never went out, even when he tried different careers and directions. No matter where life pulled him, he kept coming back to music because it felt like home.

“I hate wearing a suit and tie.”

As iif, Ivan creates from a place of depth. His music blends emotional melodies with ambient textures, cinematic elements, and raw energy. He isn’t trying to fit into a mold or follow trends. He wants to make something that resonates, something that stays with you. Every track is a piece of his story, shaped by the highs, lows, and everything in between.

Outside the studio, Ivan is grounded by the things that keep life meaningful. He finds peace on the slopes, joy in the kitchen, strength in the gym, and connection in time spent with his family and friends. He’s always been someone who loves meeting new people and making real connections. Festivals are where he feels most alive. The love, unity, and emotion they bring out in people is exactly what he aims to capture in his sound.

iif (if i forget) isn’t just a name. It’s a reflection of the moments we hold close, the ones we never want to lose, and the power of music to remind us who we are.
