Hi, I’m Gord — a.k.a. Ivory Haven — an emotionally driven keyboardist, pianist, and songwriter based in Grand Falls-Windsor. I create original music that blends storytelling, heartfelt lyrics, and rhythmic grooves across multiple genres like pop, folk, tropical house, and Celtic fusion. I compose and produce everything myself, often adding my own piano accompaniments and vocal work.
I’ve released over a dozen tracks on YouTube and am currently building my discography on streaming platforms. While I’ve never gigged live, I perform regularly online and have a deep passion for connecting with people through music. I’d love to join or start a band focused on meaningful music — whether that’s covers or original collaborations.
