Kadi Vija (b. 1985 FIN/EST) has a substantial background in vocal jazz improvisation and defines herself primarily as a vocal instrumentalist. Vija channels stories from an unfamiliar language into melodies, sounds and ideas. In her music, she aims to find a balance between being out of her comfort zone and feeling comfortable, doing so with utmost sincerity.
She is a refreshing, dynamic, thought-provoking, human nightingale with a sense of improvisational prowess that proves well beyond her years. (JasonPalmer)
Kadi Vija is like a rare instrument. (Katri Kallionpää, Helsingin Sanomat)
One of the most astonishing voices, and one of the best. (Klaus Wing,
Bassoradio)
