Before having released a single song, UCHE YARA already confirmed over 45 festivals all across Europe, including Les TransMusicales, Pitchfork London, Wilderness and MELT Festival, as well as opening for Bilderbuch, Parcels, and Marc Rebillet. The Austrian singer, multi-instrumentalist, performer and songwriter went straight from her high school finals to the big stage, playing for tens of thousands of people.
In September 2023, at last, her debut song was released. As a love song for our mother earth, ›www she hot‹ received enthusiastic feedback and landed in prestigious playlists (BBC Radio 6 Lauren Laverne’s Show, German Airplay Charts #149, FM4 Airplay Charts #1 and global playlists such as Lorem, ANTI POP, Fresh Finds, and NMF).
The next single, ›Sophie‹, proved to be just as successful. She was part of the EQUAL campaign, making a vibrant appearance on NYC’s Times Square. UCHE YARA also gave her first interview with NME, marking a significant milestone in her career.
UCHE YARA receives a grant of 10,000 euros in 2023.
