Raised in the suburbs of Stockholm by Surinamese parents, singer and songwriter Graciela Chin A Loi shared her passion and love for music with her father Don Pancho Chin A Loi - one of Scandinavias pioneers within Cuban salsa and Caribbean music. Her musical background is as multifaceted as her roots, and in the soundscape of Neo Soul, Jazz and Gospel, Chin A Loi has found her own expression, always with her soulfully equilibristic vocals in focus.

She has been writing K-Pop hits, working with Swedish top artists as well as headlining Jazz venues in Sweden and collaborating with high profile Jazz musicians in Sweden and the United States.

Chin A Loi has a strong belief in the importance of serving music fully by being creative without compromise. She has taken to heart the words of pianist Larry Willis, requoted by trumpeter Roy Hargrove in an inspiring and beautiful interview: “If you take care of your music it will take care of you”.
