© Muffatwerk
From university project to label deal in record time, the newcomer mixes French charm with German wit and international pop appeal. After support shows for Cro and Nina Chuba as well as features with MAJAN, anaïs will start her own tour in 2026. Her songs skillfully navigate between the stress of studying and summer flirtations, homesickness and new beginnings. Multilingual and irresistibly catchy.
