Jivie, as we all call him, was born Jonathan David Ivie in Seattle, WA, and his mom was his earliest musical inspiration, as well as first piano teacher. Along the way, he discovered accompanying for hire and musical theater pit orchestras while in high school, got his classical piano degree from Indiana University-Fort Wayne, and has continued to live, breathe, and embody being Covered in Rock ever since. In Phoenix, Jivie music-directed many professional and community Theater Productions, and in 2009, while with his former band, The Instant Classics, discovered that the keytar perfectly matched his pink mohawk.
