Nadya launched her first Eastern European inspired double album, 'Effugio', (partly recorded by the ABC studios), at the Sydney Opera House to packed audiences in 2002. The album has since been reissued as a single album simply entitled,"Nadya and Giga 101 Candles Orkestra".

Nadya's 101 Candles Orchestra was selected for Live on Stage by the ABC following their performance at Bellingen festival in October 2003. During 2004 she has performed at the Sydney Festival, Woodford Folk Festival 2003, the Sydney Opera House The Studio, The Basement, and the Sydney Festival 2004.

Nadya has recently finished recording two new albums - 'Crazy Moon' with Australia Council assistance, and 'Heaven and Other Places', a jazz and blues album on the" Wylde Street label".

A tour of the UK followed suit as the headline act of the Music Festivals of Northern England followed by several concerts at the Famous Spiegeltent at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival . Followed by shows at jazz clubs in Paris. This tour was proudly supported by the Australia Council for the Arts.

Nadya's latest musical repertoire and her tour merges Eastern European and Balkan influences with jazz and Latin rhythms and different languages including Romany, French, Spanish, Bosnian, Polish and English.

Nadya is a singer with diverse taste and experience. Her debut album, "Haiwe Draiva", and second album "Moka the Gift", were in languages from the South Pacific Islands, mostly from Papua New Guinea where she spent a significant part of her childhood. Her first tour was a promotional tour of the South Pacific Islands, sponsored by Pepsi Cola and later Coke a Cola, in which she achieved legendary status.

Nadya began her career as a perfomer in Poland, where she worked for several months with the world famous Gardzienice Theatre Company.

" Heaven and Other Places", with Dave Fernell on piano, Victor Rounds on electric bass, and Jonathan Zwartz on double bass, showcases Nadya's rich voice in the jazz and soul genre.

"Crazy Moon," featuring Chad Wackerman on drums and percussion, and Jonathan Zwartz on double bass as special guests, is a world music album in gypsy and Eastern European styles and languages, with some significant French and Hispanic input. All three albums are awaiting distribution Australia wide with MGM.

Nadya And Her 101 Candles Orkestra have been selected as Headline Acts for Woodford Folk Festival 2004 and WOMADelaide 2005....and now off to Europe!
