TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire, and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery. Since its start in 2006, they have donated over $3 million directly into treatment and recovery making it possible for people to access mental health care when they need it the most.

Each month, TWLOHA creates more than 11 million moments of hope through their online and social media presence for people in over 100 countries. And these moments lead to people taking the next step to find help as TWLOHA connects 3,000+ people monthly to mental health resources like crisis lines, support groups, and affordable local mental health resources through the FIND HELP Tool.

On a mission to disrupt

Swedish songwriter and artist Paula Jiven from Gothenburg made her debut appearance for the public at age 14 with her rendition of Michael Jackson's ‘Billie Jean' on Sweden's Got Talent in 2018. A cover that gave her a Golden Buzzer and that subsequently went viral, amassing over 4 million views to date. She has since then developed her songwriting talent together with Wamer/Chappell and currently shares her management with the likes of Imagine Dragons, Clinton Kane, and The Killers (Reynolds Management in Las Vegas, US). Paula Jiven makes spellbindingly original pop music, each song sparked from her radiant imagination.

At just 18-years-old, she's already cultivated a truly singular voice as an artist, one that defies all expectations in favour of following her most playful and daring instincts. With a self-described mission of “disrupting the comfortable and comforting the disrupted,“ Jiven is set to deliver a debut body of work revealing her supreme gifts as a storyteller and the tremendous power of her captivating voice.

DON’T FORGET HOW FAR YOU’VE COME

Say you’re down

And say your stuck

Can’t get out of bed



Laugh it off

But it’s not a joke

What’s messing with your head



You say it’s hard

To be living out

In the way you wished you could



But I know it’s not

How you think it is

When you think you’re really screwed



You’ve got things

you’re convinced you need

The things you’ve got to be



I’ll lend a hand

And I’ll lend my eyes

I wanna help you heal



Cause all we need

Is all you are

I want you to run free



You were always beautiful

And one day

I hope you’ll see



Don’t forget how far you’ve come

And I’ll - write the love upon your arms

I’ll lend my hand, I want to help you heal

You’re all we need, I want you to run free

You’re all we need, I want you to run free

You’re all we need, I want you to run free

You’re all we need, I want you to run free

I want you to run
