Tereza Catarov is a London-based singer, pianist, and composer whose music bridges contemporary jazz with traditional Balkan and Eastern European influences. Her work is deeply rooted in the multicultural heritage of her upbringing, blending Romanian and Bulgarian folk traditions with jazz.

Her debut album, Koren — meaning "root" in several Slavic languages—honours the voices of the women who shaped her early life, particularly her grandmothers and the broader community of elders from her childhood. It is a sonic archive of resilience, told through original compositions, reimagined folk melodies, and fragments of oral history.

For this project, Tereza assembled a stellar international ensemble: Yiorgos Bereris (piano), Cem Evin (guitar), Thodoris Ziarkas (double bass), and Billy Pod (drums). Together, they create an intimate yet expansive soundscape—where traditional folk melodies meet contemporary improvisation, and ancient languages find new life.

Tereza has performed at prestigious festivals such as the EFG London Jazz Festival, Swingin’ Groningen, JazzX, and Jazz in the Park (winning first prize in 2018). She has graced iconic venues, including the Southbank Centre, Vortex Jazz Club, and Pizza Express Jazz Club Soho. Her music has garnered acclaim, with features in London Jazz News, airplay on Jazz FM and National Romanian Radio, and a televised video premiere on National Romanian Television. With her evocative storytelling, expressive vocal style, and deep respect for tradition, Tereza Catarov continues to shape a unique musical voice that resonates across cultures.
