BIOGRAPHY

Born and raised in Vienna, Viji (aka Vanilla Jenner) wrote her first songs at the age of nine. At 16, traveled first to the USA and then to Brazil to stay with family. After moving to the UK to study music production in Brighton. After finishing the course she moved to London and started to figure out her own sound.

Her debut album So Vanilla was produced by Mercury Prize nominee Dan Carey and released on his tastemaker label Speedy Wunderground in fall 2023 and references the easy, sleazy sounds of the 90s. Her approach to shoe-gazey rock, raw instrumentals and vocal delivery makes her an artist to watch, pioneering what rock music can sound like in the modern era.
