Genre: Intellektuaalne pop

Duration: 2x45min

Triinu Upkin is a professional ballet dancer, singer and songwriter. Triinu is an attractive and theatrical artist who performs self-written songs with her band, telling stories of her life as a ballet artist and a woman navigating through the tough world of the performing arts field. She changes costumes, puts on her pointe shoes for a dance and jokes with her bandmates while trying to make the world a more fair and better place through her art. And all of this with just the right amount of self-irony while making no concessions to her musical or physical performance.

Triinu Upkin creates intellectual pop music. Her band's main lineup consist of musicians Rain Rämmal, Jaan Jaanson, Kaarel Liiv and Eno Kollom. In August 2023 they presented Triinu’s genre-bending debut album "Kõikvõimalikkus" with a play “Läbimäng” which was a solo piece for a singing ballerina, male dancer and band.
