Music project from Swiss native and Los Angeles based musician Sonia Schmidt, Ohsergio
pushes the boundaries of folk music with a subtle blend of simple melodies, layered vocals, and
experimental sounds.
After a first single Hunter released in 2016, Ohsergio made a TV debut in her home country of
Switzerland, playing a short and sweet acoustic set live. FIDITL - short for Fear Is Dancing In The
Light - and Dream were released in early 2018. Dream was since then nominated at the 2019
Southern States Independent FanFilmFest for best original soundtrack on the short movie Girl…
Asked to describe her sound, Schmidt compares her music to the Japanese art of Kintsugi,
saying she treats the imperfections of her voice and her delicate guitar playing as part of the
story of her music, rather than something to disguise. From the spontaneity and fragility of her
self-taught musical skills, emerges a very visually rich experience, which makes Ohsergio’s music
particularly well suited for the screen.
