The two protagonists Cage & CTO are back together for the first time this year! Cage caused a sensation at the ESC preliminary round, while CTO was active in the studio and on tour with a jazz ensemble.
You can expect great interpretations of R&B & jazz classics as well as original compositions.
Cage's voice has been an insider tip on the Cologne scene for some time now. Equipped with a warm, velvety vocal color, the musician knows how to radiate an authenticity that is no longer often found. The singer is reminiscent of the soulful soul voices of the last century, but at the same time she manages to point to the future with her presence and music: Since 2020, she has released eight tracks of her own and can also be heard as a feature guest on numerous works by her colleagues - thinking about genre boundaries doesn't fit in with how Cage understands and makes music.
In a portrait, "Rolling Stone" compares Cage's voice to the international, multiple Grammy winner Beyonce. "She's blessed with a great soul voice, but likes to cross genres in her songs." 1 Live, Simone Sohn A passion for music has always been a theme for Cage, but she only embarked on her professional career as a singer after studying to become a media computer scientist. One reason for this was that she didn't want to see her love of music destroyed by the dreariness of the music industry.
However, the exhilarating feeling of being on stage and singing and making music for people never left her, which is why she decided to devote herself to her solo project.
Experiencing a Cage concert is an emotionally embracing experience not to be missed.
In her own words, "I've had to carry a clear passion and emotional attachment with me my whole life, ever since I fell in love with making music that I knew I would commit to at some point in my life. When I had the strength to finally try to make money with my music, I had to deal with different experiences in the music industry. I had to protect my little treasure, my childlike curiosity. People wanted me to be someone else, but my highest good is authentic art."
Cage has already played at various festivals such as Carolin Kebekus' DCKS Festival, Splash Festival, Parookaville Festival and TedX Event.
CTO is a pianist and producer from Cologne. His extensive musical activities have taken him all over the world. His encounters with musicians from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds and styles have resulted in many exciting concerts and releases!
