*The Following Press Release Was Issued By LPR Agency*
Bishop Ivy introduced himself as an alternative-pop songwriter known for his innovative music, which mixed organic instruments with digital sounds, field recordings, electronica influences and samples. Continuing to sharpen that sound, he now embellishes it with pop hooks, sonically adventurous production and autobiographical lyrics. Ivy’s focus on imaginative sound and sharp songcraft began in Boston, where he kicked off his career as a 14-year-old street busker on the neighborhood sidewalks of Back Bay. Now based in Pittsburgh, where he studies music, electrical engineering and computer science and with a number of releases under his belt, Ivy hopes to further his ability to manipulate music.
Inspired by boundary breakers like Bon Iver, Frank Ocean, James Blake and Imogen Heap, Ivy has built his career upon attention to detail. He’s responsible for virtually every sound he creates, with his willingness to juxtapose synthesized sounds with raw, organic music being the driving force behind what he does.
Bishop Ivy has had support from Live Nation’s Ones to Watch, Flaunt Magazine, American Songwriter and Earmilk and has over 1.5 million streams for his music on Spotify alone.
