Born and raised in Romania, currently based in Groningen, she challenges the borders between jazz, pop, fusion, folk and rock. When through her music, she asks you “How are you?”, she means it. Ranging from hopeful to fearful, from delicate to heavy, her music is always vulnerable, an invitation for the listeners to open up to their own vulnerability. Inspired by artists such as Becca Stevens, Esperanza Spalding and Paul Simon and bands such as Pink Floyd and Hiatus Kaiyote, Marta fuses the harmonic richness of jazz with the poetic lyricism of storytelling.
