Dovira

Nastasia Y & DoVira is a project by Ukraine-born Nastasia Y, combining jazz and world music influences with Ukrainian and Eastern European elements. Born in Ukraine, Nastasia Y [nas-TA-s’yah] blends folk tradition with futuristic ideals. Inspired by the vibrant, multicultural city of Toronto that she now calls home, Nastasia seamlessly fuses pop, jazz, and Slavic ancestral sounds into her music. Nastasia grew up in Kyiv to the soundtrack of the Ukrainian resistance songs her late father would sing. After moving to Canada, she completed a jazz piano degree, released her first original album in English (as Stacey Y), before going back to creatively embracing her native language & culture with projects such as DoVira, BLISK, and many other collaborations. Now primarily releasing under the name Nastasia Y, the artist combines all of her influences and features some of the most renowned musicians in Canada. The music is rooted in the ancestral grief and wisdom of her past while embracing a modern inter-connected future. For the latest releases, check out Nastasia Y on Spotify.
