About

We are Jan and Jannike, lifelong musicians with a hippie soul. Together, we form the heart of we are ALVA. Jannike plays piano and sings, Jan plays guitar and vocals. But beyond that, songwriting has been our shared passion since childhood.
In our five-piece band, we craft a unique sound that sits somewhere between a modern version of the Beatles and Kings of Convenience.


Our music blends sensitive singer-songwriter vibes with groovy indie pop. A driving rhythm section, rich two-part harmonies, catchy piano lines, and intricate guitar layers weave a colourful, immersive musical storybook into which you become more and more absorbed as you are turning the pages.

OUR VISION

At our concerts, we aim to create a space where people can connect with one another in a kind and open-hearted way. We believe that acceptance and self-reflection lead to peaceful coexistence, helping make the world a better place. Our music serves as a bridge to bring people together.
