Severa
iiLoveSavera is an East London raised singer, songwriter, and producer bringing a fresh, playful energy to RnB/ pop. Known for her soft, honey sweet vocals, she blends delicate tones with bold, expressive production to create a sound that feels both sweet and striking.
Inspired by Kali Uchis, Tyler, the Creator, Doja Cat, and Kanye West, iiLoveSavera is part of a new wave of artists bringing fun and personality back into music.
Her work leans into theatrical storytelling, both in her songs and on stage, creating immersive, expressive worlds. With a signature look defined by an explosion of pink and purple, she’s playful, bold, and impossible to ignore. Her debut single, GONNA GET YA, is a lighthearted, slightly silly introduction to her world marking the arrival of an artist who isn’t afraid to be soft, striking, and completely her own.
Building Connections Across the Industry
The day concluded with an industry mixer, bringing together organisations from across the music and wider creative sectors. Alongside MN2S, companies including Rocky Steady, Camp America, the Musicians’ Union, and Global Motion were in attendance, creating a valuable space for networking, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing.
During the mixer, the MN2S team connected with a wide range of students, continuing to build on the advice shared earlier in the day. These conversations organically evolved into an informal marketing and branding drop-in session, where students and artists shared their social media profiles and received tailored feedback from an external professional perspective.
This hands-on engagement provided actionable insights into how artists can refine their digital presence and better position themselves within the industry. The team also had the opportunity to reconnect in person with students already signed to MN2S Label Services, strengthening existing relationships and offering further support face-to-face.
Strengthening a Longstanding Partnership
MN2S’s return to LCCM reflects an ongoing commitment to supporting music education and early-career talent. Through continued collaboration, including guest lectures, mentorship, and industry engagement, MN2S aims to help bridge the gap between education and the professional music world.
