Lucia Cadotsch | AKI

progressive jazz vocal

Award-winning vocalist and producer Lucia Cadotsch’s newest musical guise is AKI, a quartet of some of the most brilliant and distinctive voices working in contemporary jazz. Together they explore their mutual love of undiscovered song in intimate chamber contexts. Lucia Cadotsch is creating an affecting debut album, full of robust musicianship and emotive compositions anchored by her somnambulant lyrical explorations of her experience as a leading female bandleader in contemporary jazz.

Lucia’s writing is capturing unique feelings and her voice is mesmerizing.
