Loki Project

Loki Project is the artistic persona of independent musician and visual artist Lieke Dijkstra. Known for her expressive voice and genre-defying sound, her music weaves together influences from soul, indie, hip-hop and pop. Loki’s sound is characterized by a certain minimalism, within which an explosiveness unfolds, which often brings across a paradox: there is lightness yet also something more dark is to be found. Her performance is a fusion of storytelling, sound and visual art, sometimes incorporating handcrafted ceramic masks and paper kites.  Repetitiveness - in a mantra sense - too is an oft-found element in her music, again inviting the listener into the song and the journey it embodies. Her music is furthermore characterised by four elements: a guitar used as a base, a bass, layered vocals and lesser-known instruments such as the Ghuzeng harp, or a hammered dulcimer.
