🏆 We congratulate Weltfremd from the bottom of our hearts! What a performance! 🎤💥
A big thank you also goes to the two co-finalists, Jella and Leanna, for their magnificent performances!
Weltfremd
«Our music is colourful, socially critical and yet optimistic. A sound that makes you think and puts you in a good mood at the same time.»
Jella
The Bernese singer-songwriter interweaves spirituality with music. Her songs are characterised by authentic storytelling and a warm voice.
Leanna
With her French folk-pop, she transports you to a dreamy world of sound. Her songs are lyrical and melancholic, yet always light-footed and catchy.
