With her EPs "Red Flags" and "after the bad days" as well as highly acclaimed Gen Z anthems like "sad = sexy", "into it", or "forgotten", Esther Graf has become one of the most extraordinary and popular artists in German pop music.
Currently, the Austrian singer and songwriter has more than 65 million audio streams, over 7 million views on her music videos, and 1.1 million monthly Spotify listeners, who are captivated by her power-packed sound blending pop, grunge, a hint of punk rock, and her refreshingly direct in-your-face lyrics.
After successfully completing her first headlining tour in spring 2023, the Wahlberlin native is embarking on a new stage in her steep ascent!
Having been awarded the New Faces Award in 2022, the musician found herself at the beginning of 2023 on Vogue.de's "Must Watch" list of the most exciting new artists. For Esther Graf, this marked the start of a year of resounding success, during which she released her second EP "after the bad days" and embarked on her first headlining tour, selling out venues across Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, as well as performing at all major summer festivals.
Furthermore, the Austrian artist has been a celebrated support act for Sarah Connor, Alligatoah, and Montez before gracing the stages of Berlin's Lollapalooza Festival, Munich's Superbloom, Deichbrand, and many other open-air events. In addition to her own music, Esther Graf is in demand as a songwriter for artists such as Hava and Katja Krasavice, and has collaborated with Monet192, Alligatoah, and many other artists. Not to forget, she was also part of the radio show "Vitamin E" on Radio Fritz.
By the end of 2023, Esther Graf teased her eagerly awaited debut album with the powerful pop-punk banger "forgotten" and the autobiographical tribute "esther", presenting herself in a more rock and guitar-driven manner than ever before. Thematically, the Carinthian artist delves into personal topics previously unheard by her fans, ranging from songs about friendship, love, and self-love to stress, jealousy, suppressed emotions, and pure anger.
