1 Vanilla Ninja

2 Vanilla Ninja is a three-piece Estonian girl band which has enjoyed chart success in a number of countries across Europe, especially in Germany and Austria.

3 Vanilla Ninja were formed in 2002 as a four-piece girl band. The original line-up consisted of Maarja Kivi (vocals/bass), Lenna Kuurmaa (vocals/guitar), Katrin Siska (vocals/keyboard) and Piret Järvis (vocals/guitar). Although all of the members were effectively vocalists, the main vocalist would often change between Kivi and Kuurmaa. At the time of formation the group's producer was Sven Lõhmus, a well-respected figure in the Baltic countries.

8 In 2003 the group participated in Estonian ESC preselection 'Eurolaul 2003'. Performing the song "Club Kung Fu" the group proved to be by far the most popular in the phone polls. Following a successful debut in Estonia, Vanilla Ninja have launched themselves as a band in three German speaking countries of Europe ( Germany, Austria and Switzerland.)

9 The girls had become increasingly popular with the Swiss public. No-one would have expected the shock announcement that the group would represent Switzerland in the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest. Maarja Kivi left the group due to becoming pregnant with her first child. Her replacement was Triinu Kivilaan, who at the time was only 15 years old. Vanilla Ninja reached an 8th position for Switzerland in Eurovision song contest 2005.

10 Triinu Kivilaan( ex-member) During her time in the group, Triinu only played a bit part in Vanilla Ninja's songs. After leaving Vanilla Ninja, Triinu expressed a desire to return to the music industry once she completes her studies, as a solo artist.
