Mongolian jazz singer and songwriter Enji possesses a voice unlike any other.
Recognised early as a dexterous, beguiling vocalist, Enji grew up in Ulaanbaatar before making a home in Munich, Germany, where she fell in love with jazz. She has wowed international audiences with a sound that combines the Mongolian urtiin duu (“long song”) tradition with acoustic jazz improvisation. Across an already rich career, Enji has released four studio albums, including 2023’s Ulaan and 2025’s Sonor, both via experimental Munich-based label Squama.
Enji’s performances have an understated, immersive power that’s grounded in her otherworldly vocalising. As she told the Guardian, “Jazz, long song, Mongolia or Germany, I don’t know where I’ll end up – but I know I won’t stop singing.” Expect to be moved and transported when this one-of-a-kind performer takes the stage at ACO On The Pier.

Enji returns with her new album Sonor. Following the success of her last record, Ulaan, Enji went back to the studio at the end of last year – by far the busiest in her musical life so far – to process everything through writing and recording new music.
On her third album on the Squama label, the Mongolian singer explores questions of identity and belonging through metaphoric language, vigilant and always hopeful. Musically, like its predecessors, Ursgal and Ulaan, Sonor sits somewhere between jazz and folk, without being clearly confined to a single genre. On stage, Enji performs her new songs with River Adomeit on bass and co-composer Paul Brändle on guitar.
