Preslava Krasteva, aka “LVA”, is a Bulgarian independent electronic music artist, singer-songwriter, music producer and media composer. Her sound is a distinctive fusion of Dark Pop, Electronica, Cinematic, Neo-Soul, and Avant-Pop influences. LVA's music is defined by immersive soundscapes, dark drones, glitch-inspired textures, powerful belting vocals and the incorporation of traditional Bulgarian chants. This blend of warm, deep tones and multi-tracked vocal arrangements creates a complex and mysterious atmosphere that sets her apart. Interactive vocal control and voice recognition using graphic language design software MAX/MSP are some of her pioneering academic achievements at the University of West London, further showcasing a creative and technical impulse for innovative sonar results. LVA’s “Side FX” audio/visual experience incorporates bold political messages addressing issues related to the pornification of culture & society, the power of collective intelligence as well as the dangers of reactive futurism. In 2025, LVA was invited to support legendary UK electronic act Orbital during their Sofia show at Vidas Arena, marking a milestone performance and solidifying her presence on the international electronic music scene. Her influences range from James Blake, RY X, and Lana Del Rey to Bjork, Amy Winehouse, Radiohead, and experimental icons like Aphex Twin and Autechre.
