KOOB (Valeria Dele), a singer and composer born in Minsk, Belarus, was dubbed “the Belarusian Soul Princess” by local press. After massive protests against the regime in 2020, she moved to Berlin where she began to study jazz. After grounding her band in 2023, KOOB released her debut album “That Tree” that brought her multiple awards in jazz competitions (Sparda Jazz, Jazzfrühling, Carinthischer Sommer) and concerts all over Europe .
The band alternates between jazz, avant garde and soul, blending it into a mix that disturbs, caresses and takes the listener aback at the same time.

KOOB appeared on the public radar in her homeland Belarus, as the frontwoman of the first ever Belarusian soul band “Dee Tree”. Two years later KOOB entered her solo-path with a remarkable debut single „Jungle“. In 2020 her musical and personal life reached a turning point: the biggest political crisis so far broke out in Belarus, which caused her to move to Berlin. Now she is studying Jazz Singing at the Jazz Institute there. In 2023 she created a band and released her first album, whose mix of jazz, soul, avant-garde and Belarusian folk singing techniques has won the hearts of critics (Jazz Thing, Auftakt) and juries of jazz competitions. By now, her touring geography has covered 11261 km, where the band played 32 concerts in 11 countries. KOOB appeared on Deutsche Welle, magz.fm, Euroradio, Refuge Worldwide and other TV and radio channels.
