Nadine Traoré & Niklas Bastian
As a 4‑year-old girl, her father taught Nadine to play the piano before she toured the world with him and her sister as a bassist a few years later.
In recent years, she has worked with the musicians of “Clueso”, “Fanta 4” and was allowed to be part of the Pro7/Sat1 show “The Voice of Germany” in 2022, where she worked with greats such as Mark Forster.
Since completing her music degree in Freiburg, she has been teaching and regularly plays concerts. She still pursues her passion today, plays in various bands and is active as a songwriter.
Nadine first worked with Niklas in the young songwriter’s band project. This was followed by numerous live concerts together, including a final participation in the German Rock and Pop Prize, an appearance as the support act for pop sensation Ben Zucker, who went on tour with his double platinum award-winning debut album, and a performance at the ORF and Fm4 Portestsongcontest in Vienna.
Niklas Bastian also began gaining musical experience as a child and quickly made a name for himself as an up-and-coming songwriter: At the age of 12, he was part of the KIKA TV show “Dein Song”, subsequently becoming a prizewinner at the Treffen Junge Musikszene Berlin.
Nikla’s current single “Du lebst” was released last fall and brought the young songwriter his first exposure on major radio stations — including SWR3, SWR 1, BigFM, NDR and rbb.
