We are welcoming a newcomer from Frankfurt onto the stage with us – and what a newcomer she is! NI-KA released her debut album in 2024, appeared on Stefan Raab's preliminary show for the Eurovision Song Contest, and featured on Moses Pelham's farewell album. Her warm, powerful voice is truly inspiring. NI-KA's music, German-language Neo Soul with influences from Hip-Hop and Jazz, is expressive and groovy, her lyrics honest yet poetic. Like it?
