Hatis Noit / Lia Kohl

A vocalist from Shiretoko, Hokkaido, now living in London, possesses an extraordinary vocal range developed through self-study drawing inspiration from Japanese classical music and opera, Bulgarian chanting, Gregorian chants, avant-garde artists, and pop singers. At sixteen, while traveling to Lumbini in Nepal, she discovered her true calling when hearing a female monk singing Buddhist chants alone at a temple; the sound moved her deeply, revealing the raw power of the human voice as an instinctive instrument linking us to humanity, nature, and our universe. The name Hatis Noit comes from Japanese folklore meaning lotus stemthe lotus representing the living world while its root symbolizes the spirit realmmaking it a bridge between two realms. For this artist, music functions like that netherworld, transporting listeners across time, memory, and the subconscious.
