Sjaella is an accomplished female a cappella ensemble hailing from Leipzig, Germany, renowned for their exquisitely harmonious vocal performances that traverse a wide range of musical genres. Composed of six talented vocalists, the group formed in 2005 when the members were just teenagers and has since then developed a unique sound informed by classical, jazz, pop, and world music. Sjaella, which signifies "soul" in an old Scandinavian language, encapsulates the essence of their music—a deep, soul-stirring journey that resonates with listeners across different cultures and musical preferences.

Noted for their versatility and innovation, Sjaella has made significant contributions to the contemporary vocal scene. Their discography reflects a commitment to both the freshness of modern compositions and the richness of classical traditions. Recent works such as their intimate rendition of Henry Purcell's "Music For A While", and the ethereal beauty captured in tracks like "Northern Lights" and "Stars", embody the ensemble's skilled interpretation of mood and melody. With each release, such as their self-titled album "Sjaella", and concert performances, the ensemble continues to captivate audiences with their breathtaking vocal arrangements and the purity of their unaccompanied voices, establishing themselves as a vital force in the world of vocal music.
