Jurga's biography:
Jurga successfully started her solo career by releasing debut album Aukso Pieva (Field of Gold) back in 2005. The first single from debut album Nebijok (Don't Be Afraid) charted at Number One for 8 weeks and became the biggest hit single in Lithuania of 2005. Released in September the album Aukso Pieva has reached platinum sales (20.000 copies).
The debut album includes 12 songs in Lithuanian and English, almost all of them Jurga wrote by herself. Shortly after this Jurga received many Lithuanian awards – such as The Best Debut, The Best Song, The Best Album, The Best Female Artist and The Song of the Year.
Being artistic and original performer Jurga immediately received warm welcome from the audience and during the first year and a half played more than 120 sold-out concerts with the live band everywhere in Lithuania and neighbore country Latvia.
Fall 2006 marks the international release of Jurga’s songs on internet services such as Amazon, iTunes Music Store, Napster, eMusic, Virgin Mega, Sony Connect and others. For Jurga's music on Musicstore click here
