The «Showcase Selection» is the list of Swiss artists who have currently been selected by international showcase festivals. Currently, this selection is from the Reeperbahn Festival.

Jamila
Citing the likes of Taylor Swift, Gracie Abrams and Phoebe Bridgers as influences, Jamila’s songs are an elegant and sumptuous blend of electronica and organic garnishes, ruminative and highly personal lyrics, and big melodies.
