Yori Swart’s voice is at once beautiful and raw, with echoes of a young Eva Cassidy. Her songs are laced with integrity and passion and grip you right from their opening bars. Equally talented on the guitar, her performances seem to be about a compulsion to express her very core through music.

From the moment she first picked up her father’s guitar aged ten to this day, Yori’s life has been focused on the pursuit of music. She studied at the Conservatory of Amsterdam and won numerous pop prizes for her songs. Her debut album was released in 2012 with a live vinyl released in 2013. This year promises a new album with a new sound.

Yori performed her beautiful new song Shedding Of Skin.She also talked to our interviewer Nadja about her music, inspirations and plans for a new album in 2014.
