about
The nu jazz project Cuantune was born in the spring of 2010, in Romania, from the creative minds of two talented musicians with totally different personalities, Cruxfader and Elizabeth. These differences were actually the elements that brought them together and put a distinctive mark on their musical compositions. For the live performances, Cuantune presents an extended formula, the two founding members being joined on stage by other experimented musicians like Alexandru Coty (piano/keyboards), Andreas Aron (bass guitar, double bass). Elizabeth, one of the best Romanian jazz singers of the new generation, was influenced in her musical path by her family even since early childhood, her father being an accordion player and her grandfather a virtuoso on saxophone. After taking her first piano lessons at the age of 7, Elizabeth began studying intensively classical canto, but the love for jazz convinced her to devote herself to extensively studying this musical genre. Cruxfader began his musical journey at the age of 13, fascinated by the hip-hop beats, when he started to write lyrics and compose his first tracks. From behind the turntables, sound mixer, music software and keyboards, Cruxfader became a self-taught musician, experimenting with rhythms and sounds through various featuring with artists from the hip-hop and soul underground scene, both in Romania and Ireland, where he lived for five years. The duo met at a friend’s party, where Cruxfader was deeply impressed by Eli
