BOY

A Swiss-German duo not to be ignored. 

Forming in 2007, BOY (made up of Valeska Steiner and Sonja Glass) have quietly been doing their own thing...in Hamburg! Despite their own european heritage, and playing and touring around Hamburg, the two girls only sing and perform in English. 

Last year (2011) the girls released their debut album "Mutual Friends," which won them the 2012 European Border Breakers Award (EBBA). Despite being relatively unknown in and around the UK, BOY are proving to be quite the hit elsewhere. Last year they won the Hamburg Musician Prize HANS for Hamburgs newcomer of the year. 

The style of these girls is pretty straight forward. Although not completely "folkie," these two do provide that go to upbeat, yet chilled out melodies, with of course, the accompaniment of a guitar or two! If the sounds of Feist, Ingrid Michaelson and Sara Bareilles are your calling, then this a band for you.
