With its latest project, ‘Becoming’, the Bern-based artists’ collective Neurofabulous (*NRFBLS) aims to invite the audience to experience the narrative of otherness in a completely new way. The songs, composed by Michael Hasenfratz, offer an insight into a deeply personal, neurodiverse inner world. The story is framed by the eclectic music of producer Soube (Raphael Sollberger), which, in the intense interplay between classical and electropop, reflects the artist’s search for his own identity.
MICHAEL:
A singer, songwriter and creative force from Wil, St. Gallen, he worked for over 10 years as a singer and musical theatre performer in Berlin. His participation in the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest preliminary round brought him wider recognition in Switzerland and within the Eurovision community with his song ‘Dini Wält’. Although he was not allowed to represent Switzerland, SRF took notice of him and named him Newcomer of the Year in 2014. This was followed by various performances and a number of single releases. From 2016 onwards, he focused on his work as a musical theatre performer. Among other things, he performed for two seasons at the renowned Schiller Theatre in Berlin and also appeared in major operetta productions in Switzerland. Since 2026, Michael has also been touring as a singer with the Bern-based rap band Candy From A Stranger.
SOUBE:
A rapper, DJ and producer from Bern, he has been composing and producing for various Swiss artists in the hip-hop and singer-songwriter genres for many years. With the band Candy From A Stranger, he released a total of three studio albums between 2007 and 2014. With the song ‘Wenn I Chönnt’, recorded together with the Bernese singer-songwriter Peter Reber, and with their latest album to date, ‘1nisch’, the band has made a name for itself beyond the canton’s borders. In 2018, Soube teamed up with the Bernese rapper Dylan as ‘Soube & Dylan’ and entered the Top 30 of the Swiss album charts with the album ‘Apokoinu’. Soube has also been touring with the Bäremani DJ Set since 2014.
