Franka Oroza

Last updated: 3 days ago

Franka Oroza is a Helsinki-based singer-songwriter whose music weaves together folk, jazz, neo soul, and South American influences into a warm and personal sound. Raised in a household steeped in latin rhythms, she cites touchstones ranging from Milton Nascimento and Joni Mitchell through to Lauryn Hill, and has been composing and performing since her teens. After years playing Helsinki's singer-songwriter circuit and a period living in Copenhagen, she released a self-produced Finnish-language album in 2010. Beyond music, she’s a partner in an architecture practice with a focus on regenerative and climate-conscious design.

Her collaboration with Cold Diamond & Mink, which began with the 2024 debut single "Indecision" on Timmion Records, has opened up a new folk-infused soul dimension in her work – one that suits her instinct for emotionally honest storytelling and her ear for melody. "All True" b/w "Lullaby For Your Troubles" is her second release on the label, and the next step in what promises to be a fruitful ongoing partnership.
