Chloe Moriondo

In the organizer's words:

Few artists move between genres as playfully as Chloe Moriondo. Sometimes soft bedroom pop, sometimes cheeky pop-punk, sometimes pulsating hyper-pop - her music is as multifaceted as she is. With disarming honesty and a pinch of humor, she has been singing her way into the hearts of her fans for over ten years. Growing up in a suburb of Detroit, she came into contact with music at an early age: Metallica, Green Day and Queen shaped her childhood. Even as a small child, she enjoyed singing a lot and learned to play the guitar and ukulele at elementary school. At the age of 13, she started posting cover songs on YouTube, accompanied only by her ukulele. Her versions of well-known songs by Rex Orange County, Edith Piaf and Radiohead brought her a lot of attention early on. Today, Moriondo's YouTube channel is followed by more than 3 million fans. She was soon writing her own songs to process her feelings. Her self-produced debut album "Rabbit Hearted." was released in 2018, when the musician was just 15 years old. The delicate ukulele melodies and her special voice quickly made her an up-and-coming star of the bedroom pop scene. But Moriondo continued to develop: at 18, she released her second album "Blood Bunny" in 2021, an album that moved her sound more in the direction of pop-punk. For the first time, she collaborated with other people and created a playful, energetic record that she describes as more honest and closer to her musical influences such as Paramore and Green Day. Moriondo's mix of hopeful crushes and dark revenge fantasies make "Blood Bunny" feel like the diary of a normal teenager - full of passion, obsession and frustration. With her third album "SUCKERPUNCH", she really got going: the hinted-at pop sound of its predecessor was further developed and combined with electronic hyper-pop elements. Among other things, the lyrics tell of a Barbie with cropped hair, a professional boxer in a pink satin robe and an avenger who hunts bad guys. In these imaginative characters and their stories, Moriondo reflects and processes her own identity and view of the world in a humorous way. The latest work "oyster" shows the US-American once again in a new facet - unadorned and completely herself. During the creation of the album, she often felt like the eponymous oyster at the bottom of a huge ocean, as she had to come to terms with the end of a long-term relationship. But despite the melancholy themes, the songs resonate with a defiant hope and conjure up better times to come. In September, Chloe Moriondo will be celebrating the release of her latest album with an extensive European tour.
