Bio:
From the ashes of a poppy indie band, after a key musical collaborator left music to become a priest instead, solo electronic artist Vonica arose initially in 2018, with debut track “Ai”; the drifting summery beat mash being inspired by Chinese artist Ai Weiwei. Shortly after followed up by 4 track EP, Sol De Nit, spearheaded by bouncy lead track “Swing State”.  Around that time a plethora of hot shows were performed supporting the likes of Baio (Vampire Weekend), Pick a Piper (Caribou) and tik tok sensation Eyedress. A short UK support tour of Friendly Fires was only topped by an epic 1000 capacity rave up with Com Truise at Oval space in east London.

Fast forward through a global pandemic and 2022 saw the release of If You’re New Here Dance EP. Led by the addictive eponymous banger, and its evil cousin, the shimmering dancefloor workover, “If You’re New Here Dance - Hot Chip Remix”, courtesy of the cult UK band synth/drum maestro Felix Martin. 

Lo-fi house number “Making Music Is” has  been chosen by BIFA for their 2024 ad campaign, and enjoyed radio support from BBC Introducing’s Jess Iszatt and legendary John Kennedy on Radio X. 

“Some Swim, Some Pray” features vocals by Sonia Bernardo who features on Django Django's "Who You Know".

A huge fan of acclaimed Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni, and his muse Monica Vitti, Vonica was named after that relationship
