Информация о артисте
Sophie Hunger (born Émilie Jeanne-Sophie Welti on March 31, 1983) is a folk-pop-blues singer from Zurich.
As a child, Sophie Hunger for some time took piano lessons. Since her father was a jazz listener, Hunger came in contact with that style of music quite early. She herself had a varying taste in music. As a teenager, she first was into hip hop and rhythm and blues, later listened to rock music and as a young adult she eventually discovered country music, bluegrass and folk music.[2]
From 2002 to 2006 Hunger was a guest singer for the project Superterz and appears on the 2006 album Standards released by that group.[3] Starting in 2004, Hunger was the lead singer of the indie rock group Fisher. The band split in 2007.
She composes most of her songs in English, Swiss Alemanic dialect and German. She also plays guitar and piano. For the last two years, she has been playing with a trombone player, Michael Flury and a multi-instrumentist (flute, piano, guitar), Christian Prader. The band also has a drummer, Marc Erbetta (formerly Alberto Malo, Julian Sartorius and Dominik Chansorn), and a bass player, Simon Gerber (formerly Balz Bachmann).
On July 6, 2008 Sophie Hunger and her band gave a concert in the Miles Davis Hall at the Montreux Jazz Festival.
After producing an album in her living room, she released a studio album, Monday's Ghost, in October 2008.
In July 2009, Hunger and her band closed out day 2 of TEDGlobal.[6]

Sophie Hunger is a pseudonym of Emilie Welti (b. 31 Mar 1983, in Bern), a multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter, based in Zürich, Switzerland. She made her recording débuted, as Emilie Welti and a member of Fisher, on their eponymous "Fisher" (2005). Her first solo album was "Sketches on Sea" (Sept 2007, Two Gentlemen) and her latest is "The Danger Of Light" (Sept 2012, Two Gentlemen).
Her independently released second album "Monday's Ghost" (2008) stayed at the top of the swiss charts for several weeks and caught the attention of critics abroad. The Guardian described her as "Laura Marling, Beth Orton and Björk in one folk-rocking package".
The Swiss singer spent parts of her youth abroad, living in England and Germany. Her cosmopolitan biography is reflected in her multilingual songwriting. While most songs are in English or German language, each album contains one song in a Swiss German dialect. Her third studio album 1983 (2010) also includes a cover version of Noir Désir's Le Vent Nous Portera in French language.
Hunger has always worked in a collaborative spirit, and her many musical interests have led her to a fascinating geographic and personality mix. While she had recorded her solo début "Sketches On Sea" at home in just a few days, her latest album "The Danger Of Light" evolved over three sessions abroad. In Los Angeles she was joined by Josh Klinghoffer (Red Hot Chilli Peppers, PJ Harvey), Nathaniel Walcott (Bright Eyes) and Steven Nistor (Danger Mouse); in Montréal Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire), singer/songwriter Mark Bérubé, Brad Barr (The Barr Brothers) und David Payant (A Silver Mt. Zion) jammed along. That last session from Hotel2Tango-Studio in Montréal is included on the Deluxe Edition of her latest release.
Rapidly gaining a reputation as an electrifying live performer, Hunger has been sharing stages with some of Switzerlands’s most successful artists, like Erik Truffaz, The Young Gods, Kutti MC or Stephan Eicher and appearing at locations such as Olympia in Paris, Miles Davis Hall at the Montreux Jazz Festival or the John Peel Stage at Glastonbury Festival.
The musical directions of Sophie Hunger are limitless, from traditional folk songwriting bathed in jazzy moods to soul balladry. Her musical universe is very flourished, nourished by an exceptionally fragile yet mature voice as well as an ability to cross genres. For Sketches On Sea, she collaborated with a great number of musicians, from a trombone player to a flamenco guitarist. Sophie’s technical prowesses can lead her anywhere and allow her to do things that nobody else could get away with.
Sophie Hunger also contributed the soundtrack to the documentary "Zimmer 202" and the movie "Der Freund" by Micha Lewinsky.
