VERVEINE (VRVN)

Biographie

VERVEINE is a music project that began with Joell Nicolas (CH) as a composer, songwriter and vocalist. Her classical background (piano) together with a strong taste for the pop, electronic and avant-garde cultures have allowed her to build something we could name « pop of the extremes » with her machines and her voice. After a few years in Berlin and Brussels, she is back in her home country, Switzerland, flirting with new codes, in search of tension and transversality.
After the releases of «Peaks» (2013, DKLK Records) and «Antony» (2015, Creaked Records), she first sparks the interest of the Swiss cultural actors and then half-opens the doors to European success thanks to her remarked performance at the Transmusicales de Rennes (FR), Le Printemps de Bourges (FR), MaMA Festival (FR), Iceland Airwaves (IS), Eurosonic Nooderslag (NL), Plissken Festival (GR), Zemlika (LV).
VERVEINE wins the Demotape Clinic Electronic in Zürich in 2017. She is also one of the artists selected by the Iceberg Operation between 2014 and 2016 (cross-border support project for emerging artists led by Les Eurockéennes de Belfort and the CMA Foundation).
She releases her first studio album "HOTDRAMA" (VRVN records) in September 2020.
