Singer / Songwriter / Producer of Jazz
A.k.a. Agnieszka Skrzypek

Aga Zaryan (born Agnieszka Skrzypek on January 17, 1976) is a Polish jazz vocalist.Though (in jazz terms) young, her tone and delivery carry the hallmarks of classical jazz for a modern audience and as such is part of a new wave of Polish jazz artists. She is known for her distinctive style and intimate approach to singing, with a characteristic lightness of phrasing and warm, slightly matte-toned voice. Her performances are reminiscent of such female jazz vocalists as Shirley Horn, Carmen McRae and Joni Mitchell. This year[when?] Aga Zaryan was signed to Blue Note records; she is also the first Polish artist ever to release albums on Blue Note Records.
