Lucia Cadotsch, born in Zurich, Switzerland, is a vocalist and songwriter based in Berlin. She is best known for her auteur projects: SPEAK LOW, LIUN + The Science Fiction Band and AKI.

Their debut was followed up by a collection of remixes, covers, and reworks called Speak Low Renditions. If features some of the most unique “voices” on the scene: Dan Nicholls, Joy Frempong, Evelinn Trouble, Julian Sartorius, Marc Lohr, Colin Vallon, Trummerschlunk, Marc Neyen, and Don Philippe.
