Pilar Vega (CH) 

Pilar Vega is a talented Swiss R&B/Neo Soul singer of Caribbean origin. She grew up in Ticino and currently lives in Zurich, but people are starting to talk about her all over Switzerland as well as in Italy, France and Germany.

The initial spark for a musical career came at a concert by Tatum Rush, where she had sung along loudly while sitting in the front row. Tatum Rush approached her after the concert regarding her outstanding voice and offered to record a song together. Rush has acted as a mentor for Pilar Vega ever since. In addition to Tatum Rush, she has been heard with hip-hop artist Al Denaro or in the field of electronic dance music with Zurich electronic musician Cella.

Pilar Vega writes her songs herself, inspired in part by her work as a psychologist and her experiences on the job. She says, "Without psychology I couldn't make music and without music I couldn't work as a psychologist."

In 2022, Pilar Vega released her debut EP Women, which received international attention and was played by BBC Radio and Global Soul Radio, among others.

In November 2022, she was selected as one of the six up-and-coming talents for the Swiss Rising Award at the Autumn of Music Festival of the Montreux Jazz Festival 2022, and was honored with a concert. 

Pilar Vega has recently finished her summer tour, where she performed at big festivals such as the Gurtenfestival, Zürich Openair and OpenAir St. Gallen.

Nix Northwest (UK)

Nix Northwest is one of the most interesting artists that the UK has to offer. London bred, Nix is a rapper, producer and multi-instrumentalist blending sounds of jazz, hip-hop and broken beats topped with introspective lyricism and catchy hooks. His 2019 debut EP Life’s A Bitch, I Just Need an Early Night saw Nix accumulate critical and public admiration, with the rapper set to continue his quest for rightful wide-spread acclaim. 

His latest album Xin's Disappearance was released this year - a fifteen track odyssey through the mind and travels of 'Xin' as he attempts to escape the vices of his former self. Nix Northwest is going to be touring in the UK in November and in Europe later this year. 

Join us for his first concert in Zurich and the only date in Switzerland of his "Good Cure for a Bad Mood" Tour!
