A young man from California tries to put his feelings together into music. painting pictures in his mind to transpose them to easy melodeys. From home to school to the guitar shedding riffs to riffs. From melodys to harmonys. From the start of his musical career he has been studying diffrent genres. From the Pop culture to modern Jazz. As he attepmts to wright music he always think about what he can say to make a change in someones mind maybe spark an interest. As he studys abroad he always look to his brother for anwsers...scince Eli is the wiz kid at everything. He also, look to one of his long time buddys, Jon Robbins, Jon is one of the most amazing guys that he knows. Ivan is working on a cd production that is in the making as we speak. He spends a lot of his free time "in the studio" working on this project. The album is some sort of an easy melodic structure and is named after a moving song called It Takes Two... It Takes Two... is a song that Ivan really puts on his heart about relationships and struggles that we all face at some point in our life. The fact is that not all of us really understand the point of relationships. The point of understanding each other and our feelings. The point that God is the center point to our lives. The meaning behind "It Takes Two..." is simple. To realize that things happen for a reason. And its our objective to find that reason...and find that speacial someone. Even though we wonder how everything fits... we know we can keep our head up high. It Takes Two...to fall in LOVE...Two to make it work....two to start something.


The New Song "When I Crash into the World" is an original that explians that things in our lives are easy as we are young. Because when we are young we have everything that we need...the basic things. But as we grow older and wiser we really hit the "real world" and it is more complex than we thought. "What do we have to do?" Really we need to rely on our Lord Jesus Christ for guidence and strengh. Then we will be ready to crash into this world and be a burning light that will not fade. And we will determined what is right and wrong.
