MATHILDA LEKO was born
on 4th May 1972 in Vienna. She has been singing for as long as
she can remember. There have been all kinds of music: pop, folk,
rock, blues and others. She had a small rock band when she was
16 in Novi Sad, which fell apart rather quickly. When she was
26, she fell in love with jazz so she went to Vienna to study
singing. After graduating from the Academy she started singing
in different jazz groups ranging from mainstream jazz, blues,
bossa nova (in Portuguese), modern jazz, etc. She also studied
with a famous Brazilian singer. Matilda is currently teaching
at the Prayner Academy in Vienna.
