  • Bio

    Christa Vi is an Australian / German Singer Songwriter, based in East London. She combines her folky, storytelling songwriting style with eclectic instrumentation, electronic elements and emotive vocals. Inspired to sing and write music by life's hard knocks, long plane journeys, walking alone in foreign cities, London's noise pollution, the inner pain and beauty of others, overheard snippets of conversation and a slight fear of losing that feeling. Christa Vi's debut EP release is planned for 2013, produced by George Shilling (Coldcut, Yazz, Teenage Fanclub, Primal Scream etc). Singles and remixes soon to be released independently and on East London electronic label Boltfish Recordings & soon on Electronic Rumors label.
