While studying jazz singing at the Estonian Academy Of Music, Virva Immonen founded the group with four Estonian musicians in 2014. In addition to jazz expression, pop-sensitivity and versatile musical influences are very much present in the quintet's music. The members' backrounds vary from progressive and modern music to pop and funk. With the lyrics as a centre point, the group crafts its musical world with a skillful sense of drama.
Virva Quintet's debut album "Fly" holds strong messages from an upcoming songwriter. It introduces an exiting new voice to the Finnish and Estonian jazz scenes.
