Svitlana Nianio has been active in the Ukrainian and Polish underground music scenes since the early 1990s, both as a solo artist and as a prominent member of the now disbanded avant rock outfit Cukor Bila Smert (Sugar White Death). Her music draws on aspects of modern composition and traditional Slavic music, and has previously been described as being "deeply rooted in primeval myths, creating a world of magic realism, in which the temporal dimension and the other world constantly move and permeate".
