Two words – Violeta Riaubiškytė. There's no escaping her in Lithuania, whether listening to the radio, watching TV or going through the pages of a popular magazine, and, frankly, the audience doesn't seem unhappy about it. With solid experience of performing in foreign nightclubs, Violeta took Lithuanian scene by storm at the beginning of this decade, becoming a popular TV and radio host, joining the Žvaigždžių kvartetas band and eventually going solo. Her 2004 album Ramunę baltąją sold 40 000 copies (double platinum in Lithuania) and earned her a Bravo award (Female Artist of The Year). Impressive vocal range, warm personality and looks that make men go crazy – Violeta was born to be a pop star. Currently hosting a popular TV music broadcast Penktadienio muzikos šou, Violeta is one of Lithuania's best paid entertainers, comfortable with performing either pop or jazz or rock and filling the halls all over the place. Her second album Su meile (2006) which features somewhat more adult oriented pop sound became an overnight bestseller.
