SAFI's voice is Safi. Born and raised in Leipzig, she studied fine arts and discovered her own path into music, causing a sensation early on.
She is a state of emergency. Intense, brittle, uncomfortable and beautiful. Ambivalence and conflict are the starting point. The combined virtuosity of a four-and-a-half octave vocal range, classical vocal training and an art diploma are the foundation, never an end in themselves. Safi's lyrics, sharp-edged and truthful, are splinters of realities hurled into soundscapes. The raw urgency of her voice defines Safi's vigilant view of things - political, gritty, real. Song structures morph into enormous walls of sound made of guitars and noises. Because all pigeonholes are too narrow, the SAFI phenomenon expands from post-punk and nowave to avantgarde.
Safi's band consists of three members: Jörg Wähner - drums, Matthias Becker - guitar, bass and Safi - voice, guitar, synthesizer and samples.
In addition to numerous concerts in Germany, they toured as support for WIRE (GB), REFUSED (SWE), Masters Of Reality (US) and MILLIARDEN (GER). On top, Safi was nominated for the German Music Writer's Prize 2017 in the Composition/Pop category.
