Singer, songwriter, and soundscape builder Mart Avi is bound to turn your head when you first hear his music. Even through the sounds alone, you can tell he has a very physical approach to music, including an almost percussive style of singing. And there are an abundance of stories to dig into lyrically.
Before he hits the stage at 2025’s Estonian Music Week festival, hear him speak on the latest episode of EstoCast, including points about:
🧠 How the art he saw when performing during the Venice Biennale infiltrated his subconscious
🦕 Why his upbringing in a newly re-independent Estonia makes him feel “Jurassic”
🌴How the seaside city of Ubatuba, Brazil impacted his and Ajukaja’s new album
🎙️ and much more!
