And especially for singing.
At the age of 11, she picked up classical vocal lessons in Germany, after several years of studying piano, flute and bass.
Vera discovered jazz when she was 14. During her studies at conservatories in The Netherlands she also got to know the beauty of both Western and Indian Classical music.
Vera Naus has been performing with different bands (also pop and rock) since 2004. Young Heart is her debut as a singer/writer. The album contains 10 original compositions that show the variety of musical styles that influenced Vera throughout the years. The lyrics are about personal stories of a young heart in search for happiness in a big world.
"Naus glides through the eclectic compositions like a fish through water; ‘Young Heart’ dances in waves like life itself. A promising first performance", according to Jazzenzo (NL).
