"I am a singer songwriter.
When I write music, I let out what I can't keep in."
Teja Letonja Hajšek (artist name: Theia Leto), a musician unapologetically embracing her unique sound, creates a captivating blend of indie pop and alternative rock with electronic elements. She can also completely captivate her audience with a stripped-down version of her show.
Her introspective lyrics and authentic storytelling reflect her journey of triumph over expectations.
Singer, songwriter, vocal coach, vocal arranger, and producer Teja Letonja Hajšek was awarded Young Musician of the Year in 2009 by the Municipality of Ptuj.
In 2011 and 2012, she was cast as the lead singer in the cabaret Women, choreographed by Božena Krivec.
For 10 years, she was the soprano in Slovenia’s most renowned vocal jazz quartet, Vox Arsana. Through this collaboration, she began working with two-time Grammy winners New York Voices. In 2015, she recorded the studio album Turn It Up with the Slovenian National Big Band as the soprano of Vox Arsana.
To date, she has performed in numerous European countries (Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Austria, Germany, France, etc.) and in the USA.
Although she took part in various musical projects over the years—solo, theatre, vocal groups, and performances with different musicians, bands, and orchestras—she longed for the thrill of personal artistic expression.
She is now creating her own music under the name Theia Leto, collaborating with top-tier musicians and aspiring to share and spread her sound.
