Influenced by warm pool water and the icy winters of her home country Sweden, Tova Nadja’s music is soothing, slow and melancholic hypnagogic vaporwave & chill. Her main alias glaciaere emerged in a time where she was mostly focusing on mallsoft and utopian virtual, serving as a more heart-on-your-sleeve personal project, in contrast to the corporate muzak of her alias Stevia Sphere.

Showing an interest in music from a young age, she has been actively playing instruments since the age of 7. After drifting through many instruments and styles, she fell madly in love with synthesizers in 2015 and hasn’t looked back since. Her love of synths led her to create synth driven, sample free vaporwave that combined the warm sound of old cassettes with the cold digital sounds of FM synths.

She is easily overwhelmed by loud environments and has thus sought to make her own music mainly chill instrumental background music. This decision in turn led to many creators using her music in their video games and youtube videos. Over the last 10 years, she has released over 30 albums and EPs spanning a wide variety of electronic genres ranging from chiptune to folktronica to eurodance to, of course, vaporwave.
