House of Sweden

Sofia Jannok

Sofia Jannok possesses the exceptional – and enchanting – ability to combine song and yoik. Her lyrics are a mix of English, her mother tongue Sami, and yoik, a wordless form of expression that comes from the mouth, through the senses and into the heart.

The young artist enjoys blending influences from jazz, pop and yoik. Sofia describes her own music as “dancing somewhere between the mystic of the northern light and the warmth of the comforting fire. I am inspired by the vastness of the land, the people and the meetings between these elements.” Sofia Jannok is supported by Export Music Sweden, Rikskonserter and Caprice Records.
