Biography

Cadotsch received vocal and a classical piano education at a young age. She studied jazz singing at the Universität der Künste Berlin and at the Rytmisk Musikkonservatorium in Copenhagen. She used the voice as a versatile instrument and thus developed her vocal style.^[1]

Cadotsch has toured internationally with the band Schneeweiss & Rosenrot and has released three albums since 2009. With Petter Eldh and the saxophonist Otis Sandsjö she formed the project Speak Low. With the American Ukulele and fiddler Manon Kahle as well as Ronny Graupe, Uli Kempendorff and Michael Griener, she interprets classic country songs as Yellow Bird Countrysongs and in 2015 released the album Sing. Furthermore, she performs in the trio with Christian Weidner and Kathrin Pechlof, and in the electronics project Liun. She also works with Hayden Chisholm and the Lucerne Jazz Orchestra and can be heard with Super 700 (Under the No Sky).

Her brother Silvio Cadotsch (b. 1985) is a jazz trombonist.
