Marie Diot

Marie Diot is a singer-songwriter. Her music is a mixture of catchy indie pop, elegant chanson and lots of fun. At her concerts, you can enjoy quirky, funny announcements and songs that could be hits. It may be unlikely that they will actually become hits, as they are about things that are not immediately hit-worthy. For example, they are about intercoms, lost front door keys and fishing without a hook. But Marie succeeds in singing about even such curious topics with her unbiased view and her cheerfully witty manner, so that in the end everyone in the audience can find themselves in the songs. Because you always understand what Marie has to say straight away, but then think about it anyway.

On her current album "Ein Kohlrabi unter Kolibris", the singer-songwriter presents herself as musically and thematically versatile, deftly balancing melancholy and silliness, indie pop and chanson, all united by her unique style. Supported by the fabulous multi-instrumentalist Fabian Großberg, her concerts have already taken her all over Germany and Switzerland.

In 2014 Marie Diot was a prizewinner at the Treffen junge Musik-Szene, in 2015 at the "Nahaufnahme", another sponsorship award of the Bundeswettbewerbe Berliner Festspiele, in 2017 she was in the final of the German Song Contest "Troubadour".

In 2019, she won the Plattsounds Contest and was nominated for the Prix Pantheon in 2020. In 2021, she took part in the Celle School (masterclass for lyricists) as a scholarship holder of the GEMA Foundation and was awarded the Hans Bradtke Prize and the Liederbestenliste Prize.
