Jenny Chi
Jenny Chi - Biography
Jenny Chi, of Swiss and Chinese origins, discovered Bossa Nova in the early nineties for the first time in her father's record collection. From then on, she was fascinated by the 50s style of Rio de Janeiro, and eventually went on to live in Brazil where she took lessons in singing and percussion in Rio and São Paulo. As lead singer, Jenny has made numerous concert appearances over the years in Switzerland, Italy and Brazil, especially with her own band ChiBossa. On the albums "Jenny Chi - ChiBossa» (MPM 2007) and "Jenny Chi & André Siqueira - Live in Rio" (MPM 2010) she performed with a Bossa Nova band and as a duo. After around twenty years of devotion to classical bossa nova, Jenny Chi ventured into her own compositions and brought the best in the field from Switzerland and Brazil on board for the album "Nosso Mar» (Narrenschiff 2013). The recordings for the upcoming album took place in September 2024 and will exclusively feature her own compositions (expected release 2025/26).
