Zoë Më from Fribourg will represent Switzerland at the Eurovision Song Contest. For the Basel native, this marks the start of a unique adventure: "Representing Switzerland at the ESC when it hosts the biggest music event in the world is a huge honor and somehow surreal."
The singer and songwriter is looking forward to her time in Basel: "I'm from Basel, my grandparents live here. This is a 'full circle moment' as it's written in the picture book." A promising career across the Röstigraben.
The big "little fairy" sings in French and German
Zoë Më is a 1.80 meter tall "little fairy" with two hearts in her chest: she sings in German and French, moving between poetic pop and chanson. Born in Basel, she initially lived in Germany before moving to Freiburg FR with her family in 2009.
She began writing her own songs at the age of ten. Her love of the French language shaped her musicality, which she acquired through school, friends and her own enthusiasm.
This talent for building musical bridges between cultures has been recognized many times: in 2024 she was awarded the titles "SRF 3 Best Talent" and "RTS Artiste Radar". Her bilingual EP "Dorienne Gris" also earned her appearances at renowned festivals such as the Montreux Jazz Festival and Luzern Live.
