Alin Coen

In the artist's words:

Known for her unique way of working out inner states during the songwriting process and making them tangible for her audience through the songs, Alin Coen explains: "My specialty is heartbreak and dealing with rejection. When I write songs, I listen to the music that is created and try to find words and stories that fit the feeling that the music triggers in me."

The message in Alin Coen's music differs from the classic approach of singer-songwriters. "Singer-songwriters have a different drive to write music than I do. They have a political message that they want to convey through the music," she explains. "My inspiration comes from music more from observing the inside than the outside." Although it moves and concerns her, she doesn't feel the urge to tackle political issues such as feminism in her songs. Outside of music, however, Alin Coen does raise her voice to make others heard. That is why she is passionately committed to increasing the visibility of women in the pop industry. "You just have to keep reminding yourself that women are disadvantaged by structural inequality. In my opinion, women, trans and non-binary people in the music business need to occupy much more decisive positions. The idea is to support each other and offer more opportunities," says Alin, who makes sure that her team is mixed, from technicians to promoters.
