Violetta Parisini (* 1980 in Vienna ) is an Austrian singer-songwriter . In terms of style, coming from electronic music , she moves in the area of “unconventional pop music ”.

Life

Parisini grew up, interrupted by a year-long stay in Sydney , in Vienna- Alsergrund , where she also completed her studies in philosophy and theater studies in 2005 with a thesis on Gilles Deleuze and Jim Jarmusch .

As she says, her musical roots lie, starting with her parents' Mozart , Beethoven and Beatles records, more with Nina Simone and Ella Fitzgerald than in the contemporary pop of their childhood. During a stay in Bavaria she came into contact with electronic musicians, began to sing with their DJ sets and a little later she performed as a DJ and singer in clubs in Germany and Austria.

As a singer she has appeared in various productions since the mid-2000s, including the album Bodymovement (2004), Stand Still by The24Seven (2009), Paranoid on Thaw by Mieze Medusa & tenderboy , Dance Baby! , Don't Stop Robot with Struboskop (2011) and Who Can Be Real on Exhale by Saedi (2011).
