Education

Music
Sivan has released three studio albums. In 2013, he released his first album, Enchanted Sun, on SteepleChase Records.
His second album, For Emotional Use Only, was released in 2014 on Fresh Sound New Talent Records. The album received 4.5 stars in Downbeat Magazine, calling Sivan “A remarkable talent and a welcome new voice on the scene.” The New York Times critic Ben Ratliff said "He plays a lot of notes. But he is quiet: almost always quieter than someone with this much training and musicality tends to be, and this is what makes him more than a very good young guitar player."
In 2015, Sivan released his third album, A New Dance, again on Fresh Sound New Talent Records.
Sivan has performed with world-renowned musicians, including Peter Bernstein, Ari Hoenig, Ben Street, Gracie Terzian, and Ferenc Nemeth and regularly performs in New York City’s top venues such as Smalls, Birdland, The Jazz Gallery, The Bar Next Door and The Blue Note. He performs frequently with his trio at festivals all around the world.
