Beyond Niagara

Beyond Niagara is a cross continental collaboration started by three Berklee College of Music students in 2022. Beyond Niagara consists of Paul Vanier de Saint Aunay from France, Otto Norvio from Finland and Liza Chkhaidze from Georgia. The group despite being from all different corners of Europe work consistently through time zones, language and cultural barriers to generate innovative new sounds. Under the wide umbrellas of electro, pop and jazz they feel inspired to create music that adheres to only itself.
