SADU

SADU is a new band from Estonia with a fresh and punchy music that blends elements of folk, pop, and world music. The band was born from a desire to create music that prioritizes courage, strength, honesty, and vulnerability – songs that resonate and sometimes sting.

Since forming in 2025, they’ve quickly become a sensation in Estonia  –  winning 6 music awards (including Best Band and Best Album), selling out nearly every show, and reaching over 6.63 million streams across major streaming platforms with their debut album “Probleemid Paradiisis” (Problems in Paradise).

At the heart of SADU are Sandra and Sofia, who bring powerful feminine energy to the band – strength and vitality, but also softness and sensitivity. Sandra Sillamaa (vocals, whistles, jew’s harp, bagpipes) is known from the Estonian power trio Trad.Attack!, which toured both at home and across 38 countries worldwide over the past 10 years. Sofia-Liis Liiv (vocals, violin) is a rising star who has already collaborated with several well-known Estonian musicians.The music is created in collaboration with talented songwriter-producer Fredi (Frederik Küüts) on guitar and production, and the rhythm is driven by the young and powerful drummer Robert Leht.

The band celebrated the release with a series of album presentation concerts in Estonia, all of which sold out. Six months after its release, songs from the album continue to appear regularly in the Spotify Top 50 Estonia chart.
