Marie JayMarie Jay

In German-speaking Switzerland, Marie Jay might still be considered a hidden gem. But in the Romandie and in France, it’s already clear: the 24-year-old from Lausanne is a rising star on the French pop and chanson scene.

Sometimes vulnerable, performing with just her guitar, sometimes bursting with energy in electro-pop or even Eurodance-inspired tracks—the young singer is adventurous, yet fully aware of her signature strengths: her voice is unmistakable, her lyrics original and compelling. Marie Jay sings about the everyday life of her generation, about love, and about questions of identity. The result is brutally honest, charming, and utterly captivating.

On Saturday, she will take the Waldbühne show us how powerful even her quieter songs can be—demonstrating how intimacy and ecstasy can exist side by side.
