Anouschka

Anouschka writes and produces her own work.

Half Swedish, half American with Ukrainian roots, she grew up a Third Culture Kid, with music as her compass for belonging. Her sound blends jazz harmony, bossa undertones, and soul-inflected pop into a warm, groove-based atmosphere shaped across continents. Each phase of her journey has reflected a new mirror of reality while keeping her distinct stamp of versatility, musical phrasing, and lyric writing. 

In Boston USA, she  graduated from Berklee College of Music, and released her solo debut with guitar based songs. In Sweden she released a blues inspired album, and in  Berlin, Germany she released a pop rock album. During her years in Kenya, she  introduced a Kiswahili-English songwriting style in 2013 within contemporary Kenyan pop, which bridged East African rhythm with Western harmonic sensibility.  

During Covid, with her recent self-produced album Too Chill for Drama she found her signature  jazz-leaning soul-pop sound.  She creates her music to self-sooth in an overstimulated world, and wishes to share that space with her listeners. Her songwriting is designed to regulate rather than overwhelm, slow the heartbeat, and linger  unresolved between heartbreak and hope.

Too Chill for Drama  reached over 300 radio stations internationally, and her track Lifeline was recognized in the Jazz category of the USA Songwriting Competition alongside jazz legend Pat Metheny. Other award winning songs are “Hey Day”, “Parting”, “The Hunger Always Wins”, “Kiss Me Hello”, “Shine (Angaza)”
