Sophie Hunger’s musical life reads like a fairy tale. Totally unknown two years ago, the 25 year old Swiss singer has been on the road ever since, sharing stages with some of the country’s most successful artists, from Erik Truffaz to the Young Gods, even playing with Stephan Eicher. Sophie Hunger owes this recognition as much to her incredible talent as to the word of mouth that followed every one of her performances. She recorded her debut album at home in just a few days, released it on her own label and very quickly became the scene and the critic’s darling. The record was a slow burner, slowly evolving from the underground cult hit it was at first to becoming a huge commercial success. After her performance at the Eurosonic 2008, French daily newspaper Liberation predicted Sophie "would not stay Switzerland’s best kept secret for long".
