zoudé

zoudé captures moods as frames of life in their songs, inviting the listener to participate in honest, intimate, vulnerable, and nostalgia-laced sonic snapshots. Growing up in Berlin, music was always their coping mechanism under difficult circumstances. Themes of mutual dependency, unconditional love, hope and avoidance, fear of loss, illness, exclusion and forgiveness manifest through their work.

Any rigid bordering of genre does not do this enigmatic young artist justice, whose influences are far-reaching: from experimental and alternative R&B, electropop, indie and soul, to jazz and classical music. zoudé constructs soundscapes through their holistic approach to the narration of story and conveying of emotional arcs.

zoudé receives a scholarship of 5,000 euros in 2024 for the production, release, and promotion of an EP.
