Hardly ever doing things the way other people would, has made for an interesting life and VEra's music does not quite sound like anyone else's. She sings about life's crises (Pain, Where Do They Go), longing (Sphere of Hope, One Ordinary Day), surrealist paintresses (StormBrides), Bali (cloves & mangoes), food speculators and her TV (Cannibals at Work, Window to the World) and  swimming against the tide (Unstoppable Now, Slowest Way to Die).

After studying music (singing and piano) she went freelance as a singing teacher and started to write songs. She taught herself musical programming, drum sequencing and following a somewhat painful experience trying out her music on live musicians she started to set her songs to virtual instruments. When the album was ready for mixing, while looking for a mixing engineer she discovered that mixing can be a creative process and lots of fun and so taught herself mixing basics and got to work.

Currently living in her hometown Freiburg, she is teaching singing, practising piano, writing new songs, promoting turn turQuoise, looking for musicians to complement it and planning its first tour.

Her life before becoming a musician was somewhat restless, she lived for a while in Israel and California, travelled through Europe, Northamerica, Asia and Australia, worked as orange picker, laundress, solderer, data typist, secretary, waitress, barmaid, manager and jewelry seller, started trainings as English and Geography teacher, Egyptologist, nurse's aid, jazz dancer and finished training as a foreign language secretary for English, French and Spanish. Instead of moving to Bali she finally studied music, which was what she had secretly longed for all this time.
