airy, lovely and very accessible. She fuses different styles like jazz,

“An expression so strong and so musically that it was clear to all, that here is a female soloist with the world at her feet!” (Stardust – Wall of Fame – Jette Lykke)

The music: indie-jazz with elements of pop, rock and electronica. The band has played numerous concerts all over Europe and has built a reputation as a great live-act.
