  • Bio

    Her music catches, rouses, enchants. Her songs, her lyrics touch, move, haunt rock n roll, ballades, flamenco, neoclassic, ethno, folk, world into one. Her voice, her movements are fluent, strong, capturing. Vivian Gjurin, born in Zagreb/Croatia, lives in Vienna/Austria. As a child she already loved to simply play the piano what ever came to her. Later she started to write her own songs and then her "Croatian Bob Dylan" uncle asked her to sing a duet with him and she gained enough confidence to start to sing them. French and Philosophy she chose for studying since she fell in love with Paris. Her thesis is about the problematic nature of emotional attachment to words in the work of her favourite philosopher Georges Bataille. Since 2004 she performs her own music on stage. Solo and with fellow musicians she toured the clubs of Vienna and paid concert visits to Paris, Belgrade and Croatia. In 2007 she founded an art gallery in Vienna – Postmodestie – dedicated to young opulent art. Her efforts and exhibitions culminated in a music and art festival reduit Mondriana. In 2010 the gallery became a virtual gallery and a label for old and new media - android applications, fine art and music. In 2010 she released her debut album "Songs for Urgency – Quick and Dirty" a mix of acoustic studio and live recordings from the time 2004 to 2006. She continues to exhibit her art in Vienna. Currently she is recording piano instrumentals and voice and piano solo songs for her next release.

Born in Zagreb/Croatia, lives in Vienna/Austria. As a child she already loved to play on the piano what ever came to her. Since she watched the movie Carmen her love for dance and music (and Placido Domingo) was inflamed and she organised music, dance and poetry recitals with original material for family and friends with her friend Dora Zoricic from ballet-class. Later she started to write her own songs and then her “Croatian Bob Dylan” uncle Damir Posa asked her to sing a duet with him. This single Suzy was released by the unique strings company Thomastik Infeld. Thus she gained enough confidence to start to sing her own songs. French and Philosophy she chose for studying since she fell in love with Paris. Her thesis is about the problematic nature of emotional attachment to words in the work of her favourite philosopher Georges Bataille. Since 2004 she performs her own music on stage. Solo and with fellow musicians Daniel Pergamentschikow and Iko Mindadze as well with her uncle Damir Posa she toured the clubs of Vienna and paid concert visits to Paris, Belgrade and Croatia. In 2007 Borys Hrynkiewicz-Sudnik and Vivian founded an art gallery in Vienna – Postmodestie – dedicated to young beautiful opulent art. Their efforts and exhibitions culminated in a music and art festival reduit Mondriana. In 2010 the gallery became a virtual gallery and a label for old and new media - fine art, music and android applications specialised on spirited and spiritual Android Applications and Games. In 2010 she released her debut album Songs for Urgency – Quick and Dirty a mix of acoustic studio and live recordings from the time 2004 to 2006. An ongoing project are the PreCollections - all songs in one place. A retrospective with a taste of presence. Along with Damir Posa, Zele Lipovaca, Ismet Kurtovic and Zdene Juric she recorded a jam with some of her and Damir's songs in Croatian. An excursion into the techno world resulted in the downtempo dance song Don't You produced by Viennese own CrisCo. Now a break from music is happening since life decided to show her its depth through physical restrictions.
