Valérie Sajdik

Childhood in Moscow, Geneva and Vienna, interim residence in the United States of America. Today Valerie Sajdik commutes between Saint Privat, a little village in Hérault, France and Vienna, Austria, and loves to travel.

At the age of 14 Valerie could already be found on stage continuously and had signed her first record deal. Valerie has been singing, writing and collecting melodies ever since she was able to speak. The singer studied both jazz singing at the Conservatory and law in Vienna.

Valerie’s music has the multi-faceted character of chansons and makes use of different music genres. Edith Piaf, Hildegard Knef, Jaques Brel and the song-tradition around the Viennese songwriter Gerhard Bronner have influenced her work.

As an entertainer live concerts are her elixir of life. In the media, the two-time winner of the Austrian music award ‘Amadeus’ has been labeled as ‘Austria’s most beautiful voice’ time and again. Soft once, wild the next, but always precise. Her humorous, poetic, thoughtful and vital lyrics – penned by Valerie alone as well as in collaboration with different writers – are often critical of society in a playful way. Valerie manages the balancing act between art and commerce: She is telling stories.

Valerie loves meeting people. And she adores variety – in her life and in music. Many different music projects with producers in Austria, Germany and France have influenced her musical career. Her most important musical co-operations so far have been with the electronic artist Klaus Waldeck (Saint Privat) and with David Bronner.

Valerie’s voice and music can be heard in various commercials and TV-productions. Due to her talent to delight her audiences with words and stories, Valerie is often booked to host international events in Austria and abroad.
