VikKe

Latvian singer-songwriter VikKe (Viktorija Kukule, previously known as Vic Anselmo) She has the ability to draw in the listener, giving them a glimpse of her inner world of sensuality, joie de vivre and melancholy with seemingly effortless ease. Aside from her solo work, VikKe has also been involved in several interesting music projects with the likes of Mick Moss (Antimatter), Anneke van Giersbergen (ex- theGathering) and Duncan Patterson (ex-Anathema) amongst others. Following her collaboration with Dutch producer Joost van den Broek (Kovacs) on the album “Who Disturbs the Water” (2015), VikKe is currently in the studio with another Dutch producer Gijs Coolen (Marike Jager) collaborating together for the second time after the EP “Backyard Novelties” (2016) and working on the final stages of the upcoming record "Wired Nation". A change of sound and arrangement is to be expected this time, whilst not abandoning VikKe’s unique voice in music. In "WIRED NATION" in her lyrics she is providing a personal and intimate perspective of trying to navigate through life in the 21st century, with the impact of social media on her own life and that of others being a recurring theme. Musically, VikKe ́s new sound is like she is channeling the essence of Billie Holiday, Dead Can Dance and Sia in equal parts, being served up on a dizzying blend of electronica, 1940’s jazz and Hans Zimmer-esque drums.
