Marianna Cleo is an independent singer and songwriter based in Zürich, blending R&B vocals, jazz-soul textures, and rap. She started making music as a kid and officially began releasing tracks in 2025. For Marianna, the goal is straightforward: write songs that make people feel seen, heard, and understood the same way her favorite records always did for her.
Influenced by artists like Rihanna, Jorja Smith, FKA twigs and Snoh Aalegra, she handles her own releases and creative direction. Her track "Oregano To My Soul" grew organically to over 7,000 streams through TikTok, other tracks like "Back It Up" picked up Spotify playlist adds, and got spun on Radio 4 TNG. On stage, she played Sofar Sounds in March 2026 and is performing at Apollo Kreuzlingen for Bandxost on October 3. She just dropped her newest single, a rap-driven track called "Spend Up," on October 2, 2026, leading into her new era. Experimental and bold. Just like Marianna Cleo.
