GINA ÉTÉ

(hybrid chamber pop from Zurich, Switzerland)

GINA ÉTÉ's impressive debut album ‘Erased By Thought’ from 2021 proved that she always thinks about politics and society in her art. In ‘Trauma’, her latest song, she explores the psychological traces of fleeing from Syria to Europe, in ‘All or Nothing’ she addresses the climate crisis, and the song ‘Mauern’ from her EP ‘Oak Tree’ was her swan song to Donald Trump.

The complex and catchy hybrid pop has earned her comparisons with Radiohead and Björk: rhythmically intricate, genre-fluid, with influences from classical music and jazz.

It's no wonder that the trained violist is regularly asked by acts to arrange for string ensembles (Sophie Hunger, Panda Lux) or to provide support at live shows.

She accompanies Swiss indie greats such as Faber, Black Sea Dahu and To Athena on tour, as well as the Canadian singer-songwriter and film composer Patrick Watson.
