Ella Stern

In the artist's words:

Ella Stern completed her first headlining tour—completely sold out, completely emotional. The "DARF ICH BITTEN" TOUR 2025 took her through Germany and Austria, one night after another, with packed clubs, people dancing and crying and feeling understood. Now, in 2026, a new chapter begins. With the single“amelie” and her new tour “DAS SCHLIMMSTE UND DAS BESTE,” Ella is hitting the road again to tell the next story of her “quarter-life crisis” generation.

Ella Stern is 20 years old, comes from Vienna, and sings German pop like that one friend who, between a glass of Prosecco and PMS, tells you, “You’re not crazy. You’re just being honest.” After several years of musical theater training in Hamburg, she launched her career with cover versions on social media that went viral. Today, over 200,000 people regularly listen to her original music on Spotify.

What Makes Ella Stern’s Music Special

Ella Stern sings from a “quarter-life crisis” perspective about things that affect us all: heart flutters, self-doubt, the career grind, and the search for oneself. But she does so with a humorous twist and a unique narrative perspective—and in the end, her music makes you want to dance even when the topics are serious.

Her music is infused with Viennese wit, pop melancholy, and a touch of defiance. Songs like“Von Herzen,”“Lügner,” and“Kaiserin von Wien” have long since found their way into the playlists and hearts of a new generation of pop fans. Her latest single,“ELLA,” is a reckoning with the expectations of parents that can never truly be met. With her first EP,“darf ich bitten?” (May I Have This Dance?), released in the fall of 2025, she showed who she really is.

What makes her special: Ella writes love songs in a completely different way. She finds classic love songs boring because they come across as cheesy. So she wrote “Amor”—her love song in the form of a voicemail message from her time in customer service. That’s Ella Stern: honest, funny, vulnerable, and danceable.

The “DAS SCHLIMMSTE UND DAS BESTE” TOUR 2026

With the release of “amelie” on January 30, 2026, Ella Stern is starting a new chapter. A new tour, new songs, new shows. She says about herself: “I’ll keep doing this until I’m a grandma.” We’ll post the upcoming dates here on Rausgegangen—stay tuned for the latest announcements. She’s coming back, and this time with even more stories to tell.
