Kristina Fuchs

The singer with her kaleidoscopic voice juggles in the jungle of styles with mastery. At times, she sounds light and silvery, at times dark and velvety, at times crazy and joyful, but always musical and seducing. Determined and virtuoso, she might accompany herself with a loop-station (electronic tool that permits to sing multi-voiced) and a hang (a Bernese kind of steel-drum). She’s always looking for new challenges. The jazz-educated singer has lived in the Netherlands for more than twenty years. She has projects in various countries, mainly the Netherlands, Switzerland and Belgium. Press (selection): “Her voice is velvety and seductive without sounding imposing for one single moment. She improvises in a playful manner, and in a completely natural way she integrates little pieces of Indian-sounding improvisation, a Swiss Alp-echo or a jazz-lick. All this she does in the service of music, it’s not about her. Kristina Fuchs is one with her band. There are only very few singers who can achieve this.” (Volkskrant NL) “Music that fits in no box – lightly psychedelic atmospheric impro?“ (Aad van Nieuwkerk, Vrije Geluiden) “Unique in the Dutch improvised music. One could say that Kristina Fuchs has invented a new genre.” (Herman te Loo, Jazzflits) “Here you may see once again how wonderful Kristina Fuchs’ voice folds around the music – warm, sometimes child-like, then again powerfully female and always tasteful.“ (Rinus van der Heijden, Jazznu)
