Elin Kåven is a Sami singer, songwriter and yoiker from Karasjok. With close to 20 years as a Sami artist, she has seen how yoik has been received in different parts of the world. As an adult, she decided to dig deeper into the yoik, and found a connection to nature and her foremothers and forefathers through the practice. ​She has been sharing the practice of yoik online for the past several years, including co-creating an online course with Jungle Svonni.

As a recording artist, Elin Kåven’s music combines Sami mythology with pop, rock and ambient soundscapes.
