INTERVIEW
BÖRNI
New Heights Swiss born veteran recording artist, Börni, drops her highly anticipated track ‘New Heights’, as she gets ready to take flight on an everlasting musical journey that will encompass all that she has learned throughout her career as an artist. Born and raised in Zürich, Switzerland, Börni found her passion for music at just three years old, when she began singing and playing the violin, then soon after turning to the piano and guitar. Throughout her adolescence, she sang in her gospel choir, and wrote and performed her own songs in her first garage rock band. She quickly discovered that she had a talent for performing and entertaining in front of an audience. This included performing on stage at just six years old in the prestigious Zürich Opera House. In 2007, Börni competed in the national Swiss show, “Musicstar,” where her performance led her to ink a record deal with Sony Music. While with Sony, she was able to create and release two albums, Fighter (2008), which was featured in the Swiss music charts’ Top 10, and Plan B, while also working alongside some of the most successful producers in Switzerland, as well as four-time Grammy nominated musician and producer/songwriter Linda Perry.
