Viva G, otherwise known as ivycomb or Ivy, is a fandom veteran residing in the Vancouver area in British Columbia, Canada. They are a full-time YouTuber, musician, animator, and twitch streamer having amassed over 700,000 followers since starting their journey as ivycomb in 2020. Having released two albums, over 50 singles, and over 1,000 YouTube videos in that time, Ivy has a strong passion for the fandom and what it has to offer and has incorporated a lot of that love into their work.
They have been a part of the fandom for over 15 years, first finding a footing in it thanks to the earlier internet days through the Warrior Cats fandom and various roleplay chats, and have seen the growth of not just the fandom but art within it and try to spread the intrigue and curiosity breeded by the fandom in an infectious way with more people. Furry works are a large source of inspiration and fun in Ivy's life, and sharing that joy is a big motivator to their current work path.
Ivy is very excited to be joining FWA as a guest of honor in 2026, and to share even more new and exciting musical experiences and experiments!
