Iva Wich has been singing for as long as she can remember. Now at 17, Iva already knows her career plans: singing and songwriting. This fall, she’s a junior at Hanover High School and is focused intently on her music and dance. Along with school, there isn’t a lot of time to spare, but when there is, Iva is likely to be out performing a gig or rehearsing a musical. With startling blue eyes and long, blonde hair, Iva embodies a young singer/songwriter. Her soft-spoken directness coupled with her musical prowess make her one young woman to watch.

Watch the video of Iva singing her song Wild live at the Quechee Balloon Fest below.
