In the artist's words:

Three top ten albums, gold awards, two ECHO nominations and sold-out tours - LINA has long known what success looks like. But in 2025, it's no longer about ticking off numbers or goals. It's about doing only what really feels right for the first time. No more business as usual. No compromise. New management, new label, Hansa Recordings - and the end of a long-standing relationship. LINA has put everything back to square one.

LINA was discovered at "Dein Song", the TV competition for young songwriters, before she became a star as Bibi Blocksberg in the "Bibi & Tina" movie series - four films, over 3.5 million viewers in the cinema and an entire generation that grew up with LINA. LINA has also long since established herself as a voice actress - and not just once. She lent her voice to the main character in the international Disney production "Vaiana" and is returning to the role in 2025 for the second part. She also voiced one of the main characters in the US animated film "UglyDolls" - just a selection of her numerous dubbing jobs.

At the same time, she launched her music career and released her debut album "Official" in 2016, which went straight to gold. This was followed by "EGO" (2017) and "R3bellin" (2018), both of which entered the top 5 in the charts and led LINA on sold-out tours throughout Germany. Two ECHO nominations for "Best Female Artist Pop National" underlined her status as a permanent fixture in German pop.

Her third album "24/1" was released in 2023 - a personal and musically evolved work that showed the full range of her songwriting for the first time. Between driving pop songs and quiet moments, LINA sounded more self-confident, more reflective and even closer to what she is today: an artist who doesn't see pop as a template, but as a space for stories that tell more than the obvious.

LINA sings about what remains when the backdrops fall away. About closeness that hurts. About the moment when you realize that you don't need anyone to be complete - except yourself. Between pop, retro glamor and that hard-to-explain vibe when a song makes you smile even though it actually hurts.

It's about good days and not so good days. About conversations that only make sense at four in the morning on the curb. About people who make you forget where you were actually going. And about the quiet feeling that maybe not everything will be good - but good enough to carry on. LINA writes songs that tell exactly that story. No generic pop product, no music for playlists that is gone after three minutes. Instead, she writes lyrics that stick because they tell a story. "I'm not in the mood for half measures anymore. No half feelings, no half songs," says LINA.
