IHO
Geneva AM , Music Video – 2023
I think that this song could encourage people to not fear birth because there is a lot of fear, and the fear is what will hurt you the most. I just want people to feel empowered [by] their womb space. And know they are powerful; they are the gateway between life and death.– Geneva AM on her track 'IHO', The NZ Herald, 7 July 2023
I actually wrote it without the intention of releasing it. It was more of, like a way of processing what had happened — I had a home birth on Waiheke island during level four [Covid] lockdown . . . it was a really positive experience and I came out of it feeling super powerful.– Geneva AM on writing 'IHO' to process her homebirth experience, 95bFM, 7 July 2023
