Mirna Bogdanovic – artist talk

Come meet Mirna Bogdanovic for an exclusive 1 hour artist talk. 

At the age of two, Bosnian-Slovenian vocalist Mirna Bogdanović had already faced more hardship than most, forced to flee her country with her parents at the hand of war. Now firmly established on the Berlin scene, she’s made a name for herself as an emotive songwriter, Downbeat award-winning vocalist and performer. 

Combining instrumental music with vocals, as well as jazz with electronics and pop, her 2021 debut “Confrontation” won the Deutscher Jazzpreis for “Debut Album of The Year”. 

Her introspective sophomore album ‘Awake’, was released in May 2023 on Berthold Records and has just won “Album of the year” by the Deutscher Jazzpreis. Produced by celebrated London multi-instrumentalist/producer Chris Hyson (Snowpoet), it showcases a sound which is rich, varied and modern. Layers of vocal harmonies, synth textures, and effects are woven into the already-complex sound of her expanded ensemble. The album is nominated for “Album of the year” by the Deutscher Jazzpreis and was nominated for the German Record Critics’ Award 2023 (Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik), has been selected as NDR and SWR album of the week and has received numerous reviews in established magazines and plays on radio stations in Germany and abroad.
