Melina Nora

Switzerland

The spark that began it all came during a graduation concert at Zurich University of the Arts when Melina Nora, well-versed in several languages, sang her own song in her mother tongue, Walliser German, in front of an audience for the very first time. A lot has changed since then for the artist, yet she remains deeply connected. Her Walliser German indie pop music has taken Switzerland by storm, and it's no wonder: when you listen to her songs, you sense something very gentle playfully exploring the world. It's a musicality that finds its way to our innermost depths, that experiments with soundscapes. And that's incredibly appealing.
