.."Her voice is a “fresh, deeply sensual at times, new sound that takes jazz in a new direction.” by eJazzNews.

A singer whose heart and soul envelop her music.

Laiti, who is originally from the northernmost arctic area

in Finland., studied classical music in Kuopio and later lived and performed in

Helsinki. In Finland she made a significant impact; winning prizes and grants,

and making triumphant appearances at major clubs and festivals.

In 1991 Sofia moved to New York City. She has appeared at a

number of top jazz venues such as Birdland, Iridium, Blues Alley, and Tavern

on the Green among others. Her latest CD, “You Don’t Know Me” has been

highly praised by critics: “vocal virtuosity, “ voluptuous and deep contralto",

a “distinctive" and “charismatic “ delivery which is “fiercely original,

both rooted in, and departing from, the tradition..” At once intimate and worldly,

refined and earthy, Sofia Laiti is at the top of her form.
