Introducing.. Veronika Vesper

The Vesper star has come down to Earth to spread her radiant light and to show to us, the creatures living here, that there is a perfect star in the heart of each of us. Where does she come from? Who knows? Maybe the scientists have the precise GPS position of her origin, but she doesn't know and she cares not.

All that really matters is what she brings with her - clouds of atmosphere, ambient beams, floating, alternative, electric fluid, electronic, electromagnetic music with symphonic overtones and rhythmic textures, along with a haunting voice that caresses all senses, creating an eclectic mix of intergalactic stardust.

Space pop is born.

With an eye to devise a mind blowing live performance, Vesper's power lies in creating a visual atmospheric space, inspired by music and fashion in unison. Along her journey here she has been captivated, fascinated by the vibration, sounds and image of Bjork, Depeche Mode, Radiohead, Portishead, Massive Attack, David Bowie, FSOL, Orbital and PJ Harvey to name a few, and the visual image of designers including Alexander McQueen, Vera Wang, Versace, Jean-Paul Gaultier and Dsquared2. Even one of the most high profile designers from the Czech Republic, Iska Fisarkova, has become involved in her styling on stage, to maximize the scope of audio-visual-fashion potential.

Veronika has recently qualified to the London regional finals of Open Mic UK, an exciting national talent competition which searches for the UK’s best singers, singer/songwriters, rappers and vocalists of all genres who perform either covers or original material. Chris Grayston, head of A&R at Future Music, comments “We are searching for an act that not only has the live ability to impress an audience, industry judges and A&R associates, but an act that has the potential to become a professional recording artist. The standard was high last year and this year looks set to be even better.”
