Iva Marín Adrichem, born on 18 July 1998 in Reykjavík, Iceland, is a Dutch-Icelandic singer and songwriter. She began her musical career at a young age, participating in singing competitions such as Jólastjarnan in 2011, where she auditioned with a translated version of the song "Je hebt een vriend." In 2015, she represented her school in the Söngkeppni framhaldsskólanna with the song "Lovin' You." The following year, she competed in the second season of *The Voice Iceland* but did not advance.

In 2020, Iva was chosen to represent Iceland in Eurovision Song Contest 2020 with her song "Oculis Videre," which qualified her for the final. She performed the song in Icelandic and finished third out of five finalists after receiving a combined total of votes from the jury and public.

Born to a Dutch father and an Icelandic mother, Iva has been blind since birth due to a genetic eye disorder. She grew up in Amsterdam before moving to Iceland at age nine. In 2018, she returned to the Netherlands to study classical singing at Codarts Conservatory in Rotterdam.
