Gustav (band)
Gustav is a music project from Vienna that can best be classified in the pop genre. Electronic influences also shape her musical style again and again. Eva Jantschitsch is the musician behind the name Gustav. The name of the project comes from her father's original desire to have a son, who would then have been named Gustav.
