Introducing fraen, Berlin’s soulful alchemist, whose music transcends genres to capture the raw essence of human emotion and introspection. Influenced by iconic voices like Etta James, Amy Winehouse, Billie Holiday, and Snoh Aalegra, fraen’s sound is a rich tapestry of soulful melodies, empowering narratives, and beats that strike a delicate balance between melancholy and uplift.
In a world where childhood dreams often fade into distant memories, fraen’s journey from a young girl with a makeshift microphone to a burgeoning force in Berlin’s music scene is nothing short of remarkable. “Sometimes I can’t believe my life,” she reflects, reminiscing on her humble beginnings. “As a little girl, I’d fashion a microphone out of a pen, lay a scarf on my head to mimic long hair, and sing to an imaginary audience. Now, that dream is my reality - just with real hair.” Raised in the conservative embrace of South Germany, fraen felt a longing for expression that led her to the vibrant heartbeat of Berlin’s music culture, where she found a community of kindred spirits unafraid to chase their dreams. It was a transformative open mic night, pushed onto the stage by a supportive friend, that ignited fraen’s journey from observer to performer. “Thrown into the cold water,” she recalls, “that moment marked the point of no return.” Since then, fraen has embraced vulnerability as her superpower, delving into her innermost emotions while spiritually exploring her feelings and experiences.
