Weronika Amelia Kijewska is a polish composer, cellist, singer and bassist known as WERA, currently living in Athens.

She concluded her high school musical studies specializing as a cellist. Subsequently achieved a master degree in the history of art, and a bachelor degree in cultural studies at the John Paul II Catholic University in Lublin. Additionally, she attended a 2.5-year photography course at the School of Art and Design in Lublin.

Throughout the years she collaborated with many different artists and through these collaborations she got exposure to multiple styles that shaped her unique and eclectic artistic persona.

Performing solo under the name WERA, she weaves live-looped cello, ethereal vocals, and beats into an immersive project.  Her style comprises a highly experimental gameplay with the instrument, exploring its entire spectrum and infinite nuances. Her creation of  collages of sounds, skillful looping performances and sampling combined with her voice give birth to an oniric, spacey and deep style. She describes her project as an avant cello that features dreamy psychedelic melodies, hinting to alternative, indie rock and  ritualistic sounds under the influences of cinematic music.

She has released several singles under her own name, along with a number of collaborations with other artists such as PAKO KAAN/ Road Duck/ Invisible Sounds/ Vassilina.

At the moment, she is completing her solo instrumental album, which is set to be released this winter.
