Sierra

With her infectious bass and sharp beats, SIERRA has been unfolding her strong electro and darkwave signature energy ever since the release of her first EP STRANGE VALLEY in 2017, followed by GONE in 2019, which introduced fans of the synthwave scene to her work, both in France and abroad.
The vivid cinematic atmosphere and industrial undertones of her music lead her to be approached by online content creators (Youtube star Dr Disrespect has featured her work) as well as the video game industry. This resulted in her performing in Rennes at the Stunfest, a prominent event in the gaming world, following in the foosteps of influential artists PERTURBATOR and CARPENTER BRUT, who share her love of forceful genre- blending. Next, SIERRA headed out for a tour in Europe alongside CARBON KILLER.
In 2022, SIERRA was the opening act for CARPENTER BRUT’s world tour both in Europe and North America. After performing for experimental music connoisseurs at the Roadburn festival in the Netherlands, she played to a sold-out crowd in the Point Éphémère in Paris and released her first album A STORY OF ANGER (Virgin records) in September 2023.

KARIN PARK has been referred to as the Scandinavian Nico for her persona, but her talents are considerably more. Having performed with such icons as Lana Del Rey and David Bowie among others, she expresses herself not only through music but also through perfumery and fashion as forms of art.
Heavily into synths, hugely inspired by Fad Gadget and a lot of the other Daniel Miller signings for Mute in the early 80s it took a while to find her feet. “I love pop music but I always need to dig deeper, evolve and find new territory. I easily move from Throbbing Gristle to Beyonce and back again.” – Karin Park
After five albums, a few Grammy’s, writing a Eurovision entry for Norway and hits for other artists, a year of sold-out performance as the lead in Les Misérables, touring the world with Årabrot, and becoming a parent, KARIN PARK released a new album ‘Church Of Imagination’ in 2022, her first in five years. In this she explores new musical territories with subjects that cover magic, religion and the power of imagination. We sense the influence of Scott Walker, Massive Attack and Nico, but it is Karin’s ability to use different elements to tell her stories that sets her apart. Expect something special when we welcome her to the electriXmas stage!
