Биография

You may think that To Athena grew up as the child of Kate Bush and Mani Matter, and would have warbled the second voice to Queen songs on every road trip with Agnes Obel, Bon Iver and David Bowie in the back seat. And it's not that far-fetched: growing up in a family of violin makers, she spent her childhood singing to the 80s hits that her Dad, a former DJ, put on. With To Athena, Tiffany Athena Limacher creates a creative outlet for her boundless ideas, diving into underwater worlds between chamber/indie/ and cinematic pop, juggling English and Swiss German and creating her very own cosmos through self-illustrated covers, music videos and live performances. In 2020, she released her debut album "Aquatic Ballet", which has found an international audience and has been compared to the sounds of AURORA and Sophie Hunger. Not at least thanks to the dialect song "Angscht", which has been covered in different languages 14 times by other artists, such as GINA ÉTÉ (FR), Joules the Fox (NL), Dachs and Jeans for Jesus (CH). Living between Lucerne and Berlin, To Athena is currently working on her second album with Linus Gmünder. On the 8th of April, 2022, the first single "Fäschtmol" will be released, in which To Athena paraphrases the handling of our own mental health, the feast with the inner, insatiable and toxic thoughts. Live she performs in a trio, or in a 12-piece orchestra.
