Miami, FL - Recording artist and philanthropist Sir Ivan has released a new single titled “Love Is The Piece,” presenting what he describes as a modern peace anthem during a period of rising global tension and social division.
Sir Ivan, also known worldwide as “Peaceman,” has built a career centered on themes of universal love, unity, and nonviolence within contemporary electronic music. His latest release continues that mission, blending uplifting electronic production with lyrics focused on empathy and shared humanity.
Built around the chorus, “Love is the piece we need for peace,” the song addresses ongoing global conflict and civil unrest. The lyrics emphasize that peace begins within individuals and transcends religious, national, and cultural boundaries. In one verse, Sir Ivan sings: “It goes beyond Christians, Muslims, and Jews… The answer’s not blowin’ in the wind / ’Cause our hearts hold the one solution within.”
The release reflects Sir Ivan’s long-standing artistic direction. His recording career began in 2001 with a high-energy dance version of John Lennon’s “Imagine,” released on Tommy Boy Records. The track entered the Billboard Dance/Club Play charts and marked the first official dance reinterpretation of a Lennon or Beatles ballad. Over the following years, he achieved multiple Top 10 placements on Billboard and the UK’s Music Week charts.
Sir Ivan has collaborated with a range of respected figures in electronic and pop music, including Grammy Award-winning producers Jason Evigan, Peter Rafelson, Tracy Young, Midi Mafia, and Omar Okram. He has also worked with Paul Oakenfold, Markus Schulz, and Jeff Timmons of 98 Degrees, who produced the original mix of “Love Is The Piece.”
The new single builds on recent projects, including his collaboration with trance artist Markus Schulz on a reimagined version of “Turn! Turn! Turn!” released through Coldharbour Recordings. The project received coverage from electronic music publications such as EDM.com and We Rave You, highlighting Sir Ivan’s continued presence within the global dance music community.
Beyond music, Sir Ivan is the founder of The Peaceman Foundation, through which he has donated more than $500,000 to initiatives supporting anti-bullying efforts, LGBTQ+ youth, PTSD research, and victims of violence. In 2018, the City of Miami Beach officially proclaimed December 12 as “Sir Ivan Wilzig Day” in recognition of his advocacy against bullying and violence.
Born Ivan Wilzig in Clifton, New Jersey, he earned a bachelor’s degree in European Intellectual History from the University of Pennsylvania and later a law degree from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. After more than two decades in commercial banking, including service on the board of The Trust Company of New Jersey, he transitioned fully into music, adopting the name Sir Ivan and dedicating his work to peace-centered themes.
“Love Is The Piece” represents what Sir Ivan describes as one of his most personal works to date. All proceeds from the release are dedicated to supporting PTSD research and communities affected by trauma.
With this latest single, Sir Ivan continues his long-standing effort to use electronic music as a platform for advocacy, positioning dance culture not only as entertainment but also as a vehicle for connection and reflection in a divided world.
