Misha Fair



Misha Fair, a prolific singer songwriter, has been making a bold impression with her classic country vocals and expressive lyrics. Those who have been fortunate enough to see her dynamic performances are in high expectation of her upcoming solo releases.

A product of a musical family, the singer-songwriter’s family has had major label success from RCA to Atlantic Records. As a result, she spent most of her early childhood development in the same studios as Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, the SOS Band, Isaac Hayes, and many other music legends.

With a rich musical legacy written into her DNA, her childhood was shaped by this reality in remarkable yet complicated ways. While most of her kindergarten classmates were toting My Buddies to Show-n-Tell, her father would join her, off tour, with members of the S.O.S. Band, fully costumed. Enthralled in the family business, she quickly earned a reputation as the little girl with the big voice, wowing audiences with renditions of LeAnne Rimes’ ‘Blue’ and other tunes by country artists such as Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton, as well as rock singer-songwriters Pat Benatar, and Joan Jett.

She was trained from a young age as a classical vocalist, but found her passion in jazz, hip hop, and the gritty alternative sound of the mid ‘90s. She performed in countless marquee, and children’s choirs in her hometown. Unbeknownst to her, there was a wave of hip-hop and RnB sweeping Atlanta, and the young Misha Fair found her tribe along the confluence of the shared and varied traditions that make up the musical ethos of the United States. Misha Fair attended college on a vocal performance scholarship. Minoring in linguistic studies, she may be one of the few country artists able to sing and write in multiple romance languages.

In 2008, she began an internship at Wondaland Arts Society after a chance meeting with Janelle Monae. Her professional career was kickstarted after she began assisting creatively with many of her early projects.

She has collaborated with artists, songwriters, and producers including the likes of Blanco Brown, Breland, Demun Jones, and Yelawolf.

As she embarks on a solo musical career she looks to join her country music contemporaries as a prolific singer-songwriter. All the while, she remains in high demand as a vocal trainer and artist developer. “I’m a classically trained, Southern girl, who fell in love with everything great about this country. My songs have been deep-fried in folk, gospel and bluegrass and are best served with a side of rhythm and blues, and rock and roll,” Misha Fair comments on her music.

Band’s music is characterized by catchy melodies perfect for dancing with a melancholic note or two along the way, and it all permeates with youthful energy.


Sudden Lights is official Latvia's representative in Eurovision Song Contest 2023. The band has released three albums – “Priekšpilsētas” (2017), "Vislabāk Ir Tur, Kur Manis Nav" (2019) and “Miljards vasaru” (2022). Their debut album received Best Debut nomination with the Latvian Music Recordings Awards 2018. Singles like “Priekšpilsētas Valsis” (2016), “Just Fine” (2018), "Izbēgšana" (2019), “Klusumi” (2021), “Siltas vasaras ēnā” (2021), “Laternas” (2022) received expert acclaim and are included in permanent radio rotations in Latvia.

In early 2018, the band’s song “Just Fine” was the runner-up in the popular Latvian television show LTV Supernova and became the #1 most streamed song in Latvia according. In the summer of 2018, Sudden Lights entertained thousands of people as the supporting act for the most prominent Latvian band “Brainstorm” in their tour.

In 2020, they released a collab "Haosā" with Astro'n'out. It was #1 hit in all Latvian radio stations for at least half of the year and received Latvian Music Awards (“Zelta mikrofons”) as Radiohit of the Year.


2022 was the most successful year so far. Sudden Lights was one of the most sought after artists in Latvia with many live shows, new album and tour in Latvia. The band has only performed in Latvia so far. Their album “Miljards vasaru” received 5 nominations for Latvian Music Awards, including Best Pop Album, Best Album Design and Best Concert Video.


The band members met in music school, where soloist Andrejs Reinis Zitmanis was learning clarinet, guitarist Kārlis Matīss Zitmanis was learning violin, bass player Kārlis Vārtiņš was playing oboe and drummer Mārtiņš Matīss Zemītis was studying percussions. At first, a friendship was born between them in the music school orchestra and a dream about their own band came a bit later. They started to rehearse together in music school after lessons around 2012 and released their first single “Tik savādi” in 2015.
