Julia Sabaté

The half Spanish, half Dutch Julia Sabaté grew up with two cultures and found that it has its advantages, but it can also lead to inner conflicts. Questions like who are you, how do you identify yourself and what values align with you? This balance came naturally when Julia began to express her thoughts in Spanish. With her third single ‘Hipocresia’ she opens the world of her upcoming album ‘Egoísta’: a collection of twelve songs, each representing a different coping mechanism on the path toward gradually reclaiming yourself.


Lucy Fabienne

Bringing a signature vibrato, Lucy Fabienne sings about growing up in a small town, her difficult relationship with religion, being queer and mental problems. She gets her inspiration from several 70s bands such as Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles. For everyone who doesn’t feel at home anywhere and dreams about living the life of a cowboy somewhere in the Rocky Mountains, this catchy country-pop will feel as a hug for the soul.

YRSA

DITTER

Behind the name Ditter stands a trio, but above all a sound that hits both body and heart. Their music is vibrant and organic. Full of anthemic songs you can’t help but sing along to, smiling and moving with the groove. Blending pop love, a spark of punk, a pinch of cynicism, and a sharp sense of humor, these back-row troublemakers are here to set the stage on fire. For them, music is expression, connection, and finally togetherness.


Charlotte OC
