Solia
My Full Name is Solveiga Levanaite but all my
friends , family and my audience know me as Solia. I born in
Lithuania in a small town called Visaginas in 1989 cold
December morning. My home town is well known because of
beautiful nature and friendly talented people that are living
there. Sometimes people call us atomic children because our
town is very different with its own rules and mentality. I am
really happy that I born in such a beautiful place surrounded by
lakes, rivers , green lands and huge forests. I feel like I am
a part of all this beauty and my soul always wanders somewhere
in the woods.
I started to sing from my very childhood, I
was always standing out from all guys in the school pop choir,
church choir or music school vocal ensemble. I was singing so
loud and different from everyone, that my teacher said I have to
practice vocal alone as a soloist. In 1998 when I was almost 8
years old I started studies in music school , my specialization
was vocal .
Music school in my home town is quiet popular
in my country. Almost all my friends were learning there such a
big amount of musicians we have. I can be really proud of my
vocal teacher that because she built my confidence and
foundation for my future musicians career. After four years
studies in music school I realized that this is not suitable way
for me to relate my life with music, I wanted to be free from
rules and create music. I changed my way to Children’s
creativity school .
There I found the family of musicians, music
studio “Asorti”( awesome singer ,piano player and mother Jelena
, guitar virtuoso Edgar and always positive Friend and dad
Edvard). With them my real trip as an artist started. Never
before I have seen so much instruments in one place and haven’t
felt so many freedom and inspiration as I felt in their small
studio. I was free to choose any songs that my heart desired or
any instrument that I wanted to learn how to play. These people
were teaching me how to learn to be good musician without any
kind of rules cause they don’t believe in rules they were
saying that first off all you have to feel music and after
learn how to properly express it.
With music studio “Asorti” I started to sing
in different festivals, concerts and competitions in all over
the country, my favorite part of it was singing with the country
rock band in our town biggest event “Visaginas Country
festival”. Also I found myself as a composer I started to learn
how to play guitar and as experienced writer I started to
create lyrics and music. After some time I started recording my
own songs and present them for the public.
My desire is jazz, soul, rhythm and blues.
But I am always opened for experiments with different styles.
That is why I collaborate with house , trance or drum and base
music representatives here in London and in Lithuania. Together
we already released few singles that is well known in Lithuania.
I am glad to continue my music movement here
in London, meet new creative people and share my music with
everyone who appreciates it. |
