VAZ is a Swedish producer duo consisting of sisters Jenny and Cecilia Vaz. Their sound identity is a sophisticated fusion of their Cape Verdean roots and the electronic music traditions of their home in Stockholm.
They are widely recognized for their 'Afro-futuristic' approach, which integrates traditional styles such as Batuque and Morna into a contemporary art-pop framework. Beyond their own recordings, they are significant cultural figures in Scandinavia as the founders of Studio XX, a platform dedicated to empowering female and non-binary music producers. Their career arc shows a steady evolution from pop-adjacent singles to more conceptual, season-based collections like the 'Necessary' series. Critically, they are praised for their technical precision and their ability to subvert pop tropes with complex polyrhythms and avant-garde textures. They occupy a unique space in the Swedish scene, acting as both high-level producers for other artists and uncompromising experimentalists in their own right.
