“Big in the USA”: Music from Switzerland seems to be well received in America. Currently, many local singers have started in the United States. Blick offers three of them.
Kings Elliott (29)
Kings Elliot (29) of Altendorf SZ has been playing on America’s biggest stages since the beginning of August. The musician appears at the opening ceremonies of American greats Macklemore (39, “Thrift Shop”) and Imagine Dragons (“Believer”) and inspires audiences in arenas and stadiums during 20 concerts. “I haven’t been to the US for a long time,” said a Shwitz native. Commitment is like a knight. Shortly before that, she was signed by US record label Universal Music, and a commitment to tour followed. “I can only win,” said Anja Jamor, as Elliot Kings are called, before leaving for the United States. In her songs she addresses, among other things, the psychological challenges that she herself has to deal with. They also accompany you on the tour. “I thought my panic attacks would get better,” she says. But they got stronger, “maybe because I’ve been away from home for so long.” Kings Elliot will play the last date of the US Tour next Thursday, and on Saturday she will return to the stage at the Radar Festival in Zurich. The singer, who lives in London, will not forget the time he spent in America so quickly: “I am very grateful that I was able to experience it.”
Caroline Corretti (32)
Singer Carol Corretti (32) of Kleinbusingen records her second FRSEB in Nashville, Tennessee. For her dream, a trained elementary school teacher, who also fought for the jury on “The Voice of Germany” in 2017, dismantled all her tents at home, quitting her job and her apartment. “I’m totally committed to the music of my dreams,” says Coriti, who is backed by famed English music producer Nick Howard, 40, on her new seven-song scorecard. “It is a privilege to be able to score and work at this legendary venue,” Corretti says. “The United States inspires me,” she says of the parties she throws there. “Here it seems that everything is possible for a musician.”
Charlie Widmer (29)
He grew up in Zurich, but lived on the East Coast of the United States for 20 years and was most recently on stage at Madison Square Garden in New York with swing star Michael Buble (46). “It was an unforgettable experience,” Charlie Widmer, 29, said of the concert in front of 20,000 fans. A son of a Swiss and Puerto Rican father shared the spotlight with baritone voices Josh Groban (41) and soprano Sarah Brightman (62). He got his first show business experience when he landed a leading role in the musical Grease in high school, and later appeared in the hit theater West Side Story. “I am very proud of what I have achieved here,” says the singer and actor. He will soon be back in his old home: on September 29 in Das Zilt in Basel.
