The Fribourg-based singer’s song will be unveiled next Monday at 10am.
“Representing Switzerland at ESC, at a time when Basel is hosting the world’s biggest music event, is a great honour and a little surreal,” said the 24-year-old singer.
“On the road between Berlin and Freiburg, somewhere between film music and modern beats, she creates her own ‘Chill Noir’ pop style and thus paints the image of a young woman who loves her imperfections,” reads the singer’s website.
Bilingual pop
Më began writing her own songs at the age of 10. Today, she sings in German and French. Her love of the French language marks her musicality.
Yet the young woman does not come from a bilingual family. She learned French at school and with her friends. Born in Basel, she first lived in Germany before settling in Fribourg with her family in 2009.
Her talent for building musical bridges between cultures has been rewarded on several occasions: in 2024, she received the SRF 3 Best Talent and RTS Artiste Radar awards. Her bilingual EP Dorienne Gris has earned her appearances at festivals such as the Montreux Jazz Festival and Luzern Live.
