Vocalist

Live Foyn Friis from Asker has studied the old jazz singers from childhood. In particular, Live has brought many of the songs from the repertoire of the great Sarah Vaughan into her own band. She was nominated for the Danish Spellemann Prize with her four albums in the categories of Vocal Jazz Album of the Year and Special Release of the Year at the Danish Music Awards. She won the title of Young Jazz Composer of the Year and, on the same occasion, was named Denmark's new jazz star! Live Foyn Friis now lives in Norway.
