Who I am

I’m Tanja Raich, born in Austria and I grew up in a little village surrounded by giant mountains and a wonderful scenery. After visiting the High School with the emphasis on music in Innsbruck I decided to move to Vienna, a wonderful and inspiring city with an enormous musical variety.
I’m trained both classical and jazz/pop at the University of Music in Vienna and at the Complete Vocal Institute (CVI) in Copenhagen and I think I’m quite a multifaceted singer. I’m a singer full of curiosity and besides training my vocal skills I wanted to know more about music theory so I decided to study musicology, dramatics and psychology. Who knows what my next challenge will be.

My musical route has taken many paths:
working as a soloist in jazz/pop/funk influenced bands
being a student of great vocal teachers like Bobby Mc Ferrin
being a member of professional a cappella groups like Velvet Voices and Shiva Knows

I simply feel very comfortable on many different musical tracks and I love it to perform. When I’m not on stage, rehearsing or teaching my students you can find me in the park sitting on a bench with one of my 1001 books, on the dance- and aerobicfloor or shooping for that pair of boots that can change a woman’s life.
If I wasn’t working as a vocalist, I would have chosen some profession in sport.
Some say that singing is top sport so now I have both.
