The twilight samurai of alternative pop, Mart Avi, masterfully blends playful grandeur with a convention-defying style that captivates audiences from the Netherlands to Taiwan. Hailing from the quaint Estonian village of Vara—meaning “Treasure”—Avi’s youth was steeped in the echoes of its industrious past, fueling his creative spirit. With each new release, his craft becomes more polished, earning accolades and topping critics’ polls in Estonia while garnering rave reviews from esteemed outlets like MOJO and The Quietus.
In late 2024, Avi will unveil his highly anticipated double LP, Death of Music, a collaboration with Ajukaja, a key figure in Estonia’s underground scene. Praised for his seductive melodies and clever lyrical depth, Avi is likened to a 21st-century Loki—charming and enigmatic. As critics declare, “He’d make an excellent pop star,” Mart Avi continues to redefine the landscape of modern pop with his unique artistic vision.
Come and enjoy their performance at SHARPE 2025!
