Press Kit
Igor Iov
Igor Iov is a Swiss-Serbian singer-songwriter and producer making alternative pop-rock about the life you live between 5 PM and 9 AM, the hours he carves out around a day job in finance.
He grew up between languages and cultures, and it shows in the way he phrases a line. Switzerland handed him a precision habit and a stage. The Voice of Switzerland and Idol Sweden put him in front of a national audience. And a year at Musikmakarna, Sweden's songwriting academy, gave him the craft to finish the songs he'd been carrying around. His releases have reached 40+ international radio stations. His debut concept album «5 to 9» arrives in 2026, with the first single landing in September 2026.

Story angles
- «5 to 9» flips «9 to 5». The job isn't the point. The life you live in the hours around it is.
- A finance day job by day, songs written in the margins. Honest the way a 2 AM diary entry is honest.
- A year at Sweden's Musikmakarna sharpened the writing, and the record is built on real instruments rather than samples.
