Introducing VAZ, the visionary producer duo, fearlessly reshaping the Nordic music scene with a sound like no other. The Swedish-Cape Verdean sisters Cecilia and Jenny Vaz draw deeply on themes of cross-cultural identity, channeling the power of the West African diaspora and Nordic melancholy into their progressive electronic compositions.

In describing the sonic world of their upcoming trilogy album FANTAZIA, the producer duo introduced the term Afro-Nordic Futurism. Fusing elements from classical music, avant-garde beats, and the Mourna ballad tradition, their bold new work unfolds a MIDI symphony that goes beyond music, to include performance, visual art, and technology.

The release of VAZ’s debut album, NECESSARY, in 2017 was met with critical acclaim and secured nominations for "Producer of the Year" and "Alternative Pop" at the Swedish Grammy Awards. From collaborations with IAMAMYWHOAMI and Bella Boo to notable openings for Little Dragon, Ibeyi, and Angel Haze, VAZ has emerged as a magnetic live act, captivating the alternative scene with their cutting-edge shows.

As multidisciplinary artists and curators VAZ work transcends music, influencing the Nordic art scene through innovative exhibitions. In 2021, the duo debuted their audiovisual exhibition, Project Panorama, at The Contemporary Museum of Photography Art & Culture. Later, in 2023, VAZ premiered their sold-out dance concert tour, ZIRKONEN, at Sweden's largest performing arts center for contemporary dance.
