For years now, music, thanks to streaming & co., has known close to no borders. Riding this wave, a fresh generation of artists from Germany and Austria has slowly but surely been taking over the international music scene – and they’re doing it in English. ⭐️

Leading the charge are Zimmer90, Leoniden, and Sharktank – bands who have become prime examples of how breaking free from traditional moulds and refusing to be boxed into specific genres or cultural expectations can help you grow into directions which seemed almost impossible to reach before. 🎶

From small-town beginnings to global spotlights, their journeys are as compelling as their music and offer insight into what it takes to capture hearts across the globe one overseas gig at a time.

Dhruv emerged into the international music scene in 2019 after his single ‘double take’ went viral. His music career has been skyrocketing since, having released his debut album ‘Private Blizzard’, toured multiple parts of the world and performed live on US and UK television at Jimmy Kimmel and Jools Holland in a matter of a year. 💜

We spoke to the London-born, Singapore-raised creative of Indian descent at the end of 2024 about how his multicultural upbringing impacted his music likings, how writing his debut album helped him untie the knots in his head and how he used his obsession with Amy Winehouse to train his singing voice early on. 🌟

The moment has finally come – the new era of twenty one pilots has arrived. On June 12th, the Ohio-based duo made up of singer Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun, released their latest single ‘The Contract’ from their upcoming, highly-anticipated eighth full-length record ‘Breach’, which was announced after an array of cryptic posts, secret messages, hidden countdowns, and a very special bit of performance during their final night on the “Clancy World Tour” in London in late May. ❤️

2025 is already a big year for Australian pop newcomer Lyric as she released a brand new single ‘Make a Move’ last month, is about to embark on a UK & Ireland tour next month – with the London show already being sold out – and is currently working on a new EP. 🤍

The 21-year-old singer is not only a songwriter but also a producer for her own songs, making her a triple threat and someone to look out for on the pop star horizon. We sat down with the creative on a Tuesday morning – for her the evening after she spent all day in the studio – to discuss childhood idols, the musical and visual inspirations behind her artistry, and how running a fan account in her teenage years prepared her for a successful social media presence today. 💐

The importance of genuine friendship, synergy and passion is what the London-based band, humaninterestband, is built on. Guitarist Cat Harrison (Harry) and bassist Tyler Damara Kelly met through the uplifting and wholesome safe space of a fe**sh club Whatsapp group and connected through their love of music. Kelly had been a bedroom bassist for a few years, so joining a band was something far from her mind until Harry saw a fire in her in videos she had posted online and pushed her to believe in herself as a performer: “Don’t overthink it and say you won’t ever be good enough. Just throw yourself into it and don’t doubt yourself. There’s no age limit to starting what you love.” 🎶

A little more than a week ago, formidable and world-famous duo twenty one pilots played their last show of their 73-date-strong Clancy World Tour. Coming to a close at London's iconic O2 Arena, the tour had seen the two-piece travel across the globe in celebration of their highly acclaimed 2024 released record ‘Clancy’ in front of thousands of dedicated fans each night, with some having waited to see the American group live again for more than six years. ❤️‍🔥

It came as no surprise then that many mourned the closing show at the UK capital in fear of the band taking a break or disappearing for a little while – but, in true Twenty One Pilots fashion, it seems that the end was only just the beginning. 👀

It was a warm spring evening in London when we entered the sold-out Village Underground in Shoreditch, ready to be serenaded by the soft, melancholic tunes of the act of the night: the American-British duo Sunday 1994 made up of guitarist Lee Newell and singer Paige Turner. 🎶

The first Monday in May has passed, which means the international elite gathered once again to celebrate the art of fashion at New York’s Metropolitan Museum. Meanwhile, the rest of us found joy in livestreaming the event from home and judging outfits worth more than our annual salaries. This year’s theme was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”, with the Black dandy as its central figure. 🖤

The phenomenon of ‘Brat’ was unavoidable in summer 2024, whether in global music charts, on American television (‘Saturday Night Live’), online on various social media platforms, in fashion choices and trends, and culturally in interpersonal relationships and patterns of behaviour. ‘Brat’, – the way Charli XCX introduced us to it – soon became a word that created its own meaning, defined by so much more than a spoiled, badly behaved child. Everything impactful became ‘brat’, everyone wanted to channel their inner ‘brat’, and suddenly everything was ‘brat’ green. 💚

Kamille has been a defining presence in the UK music scene for over a decade, penning hits for the likes of Little Mix and Mabel while building a solo career grounded in soul and empowerment. Born and bred New Yorker Will Sass, on the other hand, is still in his breakout phase — though you wouldn’t guess it from the polish of his production or the conviction in his sound. 🎶

‘Happiness’, a feel-good tune with a deeper, more personal meaning, marks their second collaboration after their previous release ‘Into The Blue’. We chatted with both of them about their creative partnership, their musical endeavours, the definition of happiness, and their advice on finding it in your everyday life. 🌞

The power of individualist punk punches you in the gut when listening to Brighton duo, Lambrini Girls. Phoebe Lunny and Lilly Macieira-Bosgelmez bring their A-game, using their platform to incite change through their music with both responsible activism and unhinged fun. 🎸

Their new album ‘Who Let The Dogs Out’, which was released at the end of January this year, for which the two-piece marked the news of the release with their single ‘Big Dick Energy’ – a track filled with distorted bass and dirty grunge tones, challenging toxic masculinity. We spoke with Lambrini Girls and delved into their radically talented approach to current issues… 💃
