The Swiss-Cameroonian singer-songwriter KEZA is redefining modern soul.
Swiss-Cameroonian singer-songwriter KEZA is redefining modern soul with a sound that’s as raw as it is refined. Hailing from Zurich, she first captured the internet’s attention with a series of viral performances, showcasing a voice that’s both delicate and powerful. Blending the rich textures of Soft Rock and R&B and Indie, her music channels the heartfelt lyricism of Lianne La Havas, the bold spirit of RAYE, and the sultry energy of Miguel—creating a style that feels both timeless and fresh.
Backed by a band she formed during a prestigious Swiss music scholarship program, KEZA’s live shows are immersive experiences—where vulnerability meets power, and every note carries a story. Whether performing intimate stripped-down sets or commanding festival stages, she brings an authenticity that invites listeners to truly feel. Her captivating presence on stage has already earned her a spot supporting Infinity Song, further cementing her place as an artist to watch.
A mathematician by day and an artist by nature, KEZA embodies the perfect blend of precision and passion.
“When the singer from Zurich really gets going, she can easily enchant an entire Gurtenfestival with her voice — without a microphone. Only three songs by this woman have been released so far, and they're not even particularly polished. Yet various samples on YouTube make it clear that this is a concert worth checking out. With KEZA, a soul lady is emerging who has what it takes to outshine much of what is currently gaining attention in the genre.”— Der Bund
