Sophie Hunger plays Avo Session

Synopsis

Sophie Hunger has a radically different view of the world. The young Zurich singer starts the day by reading several newspapers even though it only puts her into a bad mood: The world is so complicated. She herself would say that she’s uptight which doesn’t make things any easier. To compound matters further, there are the music styles that have influenced her: jazz and funk from her father, folk songs from her mother, hip hop from her teenage years, and country music, which she discovered shortly after. How can the singer put those parts together to make a whole? She does it by melding thoughts, feelings and music into pure poetry. Bob Dylan, Feist and Lhasa come to mind. Sophie Hunger is the epitome of a great singer-songwriter. It’s no wonder that her first album, ‘Monday’s Ghost’, hit number one on the Swiss charts, that all of Europe’s music magazines and newspapers have shown her respect and admiration and that her stage presence in live performances has already become legendary.
