Mari Kalkun's father is a native of Võru and mother a singer from Kihnu-Pärnu, so you may hear a forest as well as a sea in her songs.
She has drawn inspiration from nature, Estonian poetry and folk songs. In creating music, she uses a variety of musical instruments such as zither, accordion, guitar, piano, but she also likes to experiment with unusual sounds – whitsles, pipes and childhood instruments.
She has released two albums: “Üü tulõk” (2007) and „Vihmakõnõ” (2010).
