KRUTЬ 🇺🇦

Bringing the bandura (Ukrainian harp) front and centre, KRUTЬ is the world's first “soul bandura” artist, gaining a huge following around the world thanks to her intense live shows which showcase not only the traditional Ukrainian folk instrument and her enchanting vocals, but the story of her people and culture.

An authentic new voice reviving, and adapting, a great Ukrainian musical tradition, she’s taken the bandura in new directions by infusing it with soul, pop, and more. The resulting recordings have consistently topped best-album lists and continue to receive critical acclaim in Ukraine and beyond.

A two-time finalist in the national selection for the Eurovision song competition and a finalist in TV shows such as The Voice and X-Factor, she performed at Canadian showcase events Global Toronto and Mundial Montreal, and from coast to coast in a 21-city cross-country tour early this year, while appearing in an increasing number of international festivals and venues.

But beyond traditional live settings, KRUTЬ has dedicated herself to attracting attention to the struggles of the Ukrainian people, raising funds to send home, and spending time in the bomb shelters, hospitals, and frontlines with Ukrainian citizens and soldiers during the war with Russia, and dating back to 2014.
