Welcome

Univocal Music is a young music production company and record label situated on the west coast of Finland. It was founded in 2009 by Alexandra Sandbäck and Niklas Harju purely for the sake of getting unheard music heard.

Univocal Music first release was Anna Phoenix' single "Hey, Hugo" in April 2010 and after that we took some time off to tour California which inspired us Univocal:ists a lot. Now, after an intense year of producing and recording we are proud to present Anna Phoenix' second album “For one and all”!

Since 2009 we've also been producing the singer-songwriter compilation album Univocal Collective, which features young singer-songwriters from Finland and the US. This album will hopefully see the light of day come this winter and we are truly excited about giving these storytellers a shot at the people's ears!

We are supporting a lot of local acts through promotion and sales, so do check out our artist page before you head on out.

In peace and love,
Alexandra Sandbäck, Niklas Harju & Anna Saarela
