Vivienne Artur

Vivienne Artur is the kind of artist who reminds you why people fall in love with music in the first place. At just 22, the Lambertville, NJ native has already built a musical world that captures growing pains, quiet moments, and the complicated beauty of figuring life out. A recent Berklee College of Music graduate, Vivienne has spent the past few years honing her craft and learning how to tell the truth, both to herself and through her art.

When I speak with Vivienne, it’s over the phone while she’s on a train to Boston, heading back to finish a week of recording. We lose connection through tunnels and spotty reception, and every time we reconnect, it’s with a laugh and an easy warmth that makes it feel like no time has passed. Despite the chaos of travel, she speaks with clarity and heart—thoughtful, funny, and entirely present.

Vivienne is carving her place in the pop and indie scenes with a unique blend of vulnerability, emotional honesty, and sonic experimentation. Her sound is both nostalgic and entirely new, echoing the voices of the artists she grew up loving, yet unmistakably her own. In our conversation, she opens up about everything: creative doubt, emotional growth, enjoying being alone, and her unabashed love for Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Now stepping into a pivotal new chapter, Vivienne brings more than just a collection of songs. She brings a fully realized world built on melody, memory, and meaning. She’s an artist unafraid to feel deeply, speak honestly, and transform every experience into something beautiful.

Okay, so a fun question to start off with. If you could get one person from your life to describe you, who would you choose, and why?

 I would have to choose my little cousin Sarah. She's 19 now—kind of like a built-in little sister. She has seen so many sides of me that no one else has. Growing up, we would always make music videos together and pretend to be sisters when we were at the playground. She’s the first person I call when I have news or need someone to vent to, and she always picks up the phone. Anytime I have a new demo, she’s always the first person I’ll send it to. She’s seen me go through so many different phases of life, and I try to be a good role model for her.

Can you tell me about your musical journey—how did it all start?

I started playing music at a really young age. I took piano lessons growing up, and honestly, most of them ended in tears. I used to get so mad at myself for not remembering the music or messing up. My parents were always singing around the house and were super supportive of my music—even when it sucked. I grew up studying classical piano, which was a bit torturous at times because I had some really tough teachers, and I also played the saxophone in the marching band. But even through the frustration, my love for music never faded. I think that love came from my sensitivity, both emotionally and physically. I’ve always had really strong reactions to music. I remember hearing the demo version of "Canon in D" on my keyboard and just crying. There was really no other hobby I ever wanted to do.
