“Dirty Hit’s latest signee, Viji, makes bedroom-punk with a serrated edge thanks to her vocals.” – Nylon
“Her debut EP showcases a wonderfully in-your-face talent” – Sunday Times Culture
“As the grunge-y guitars ring out the hook-laden verses fly” – The FADER
“London-based singer-songwriter Viji’s debut single ‘Cherry’ is a bittersweet indie pop track that contrasts grungy guitar chords with bright synths.” – NME
“The catchy choruses belie a more intricate songwriting style, with the titular song winding from the sunshine and lollipops of Noughties pop to the crunchy guitars of 90s grunge” – The I
“Viji is the new Dirty Hit signee mixing alt-pop with lo-fi indie and grunge to create a potent sonic cocktail.” – Notion

London-based artist Viji – real name Vanilla Jenner – announces her new EP titled SUCK IT. The five-track EP will be released on Dirty Hit on Friday 9th July. The collection of songs were inspired by stories from her time spent in the US as a teenager and draw on a compelling blend of alt-pop, lo-fi indie and grunge to create a sonic cocktail.
To celebrate the announcement Viji shares the title track. She says, ‘Suck It’ was super fun to write. It’s such a short and compact song, I think I finished it the same day I started. I was revisiting an old relationship from years ago. What seemed world-ending then is now passé, so the vibe is very playful and nostalgic. Fave quote ‘you like hurting me, I like sleeping with your friends suuuuck iiiit!’”
On the music video, Viji adds, “The shoot was so cool. I collaborated with the director Hugh Mulhern and made something out of a fever dream. There’s even animation on it. Demons and infernal energy drinks!”
With the debut EP ARE YOU IN MY HEAD having already racked up a wealth of praise from The FADER, Nylon, NME and DIY, tongues are wagging with anticipation for Viji’s follow up.

Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
