Rhiannon Mair / Zoe Konez (UK)
Rhiannon Mair hat die Musik im Blut; ihre DNA ist eine tänzelnde Doppelhelix voll lebendiger Musikalität und brillantem Song-Writing. Ihre Vielschichtigkeit als Musikerin macht sie zu einer aufregenden und dynamischen Live-Performerin mit Ecken und Kanten und großartiger Bühnenpräsenz. Als Mischung aus Alanis Morrisette und KT Tunstall, mit einzigartiger charakteristischer Stimme, kann man Rhiannon Mair unmöglich ignorieren.
Ohne Vorwarnung zeigte das im April 2013 veröffentlichte Debut-Album „It Goes Like This“, welches allein durch Fans über eine Crowdfunding Plattform finanziert wurde, das Talent dieser jungen, authentischen Künstlerin.
Geboren und aufgewachsen in Colchester, war sie von klein auf von Musik und Musikern umgeben. Schnell entdeckte sie ihre Leidenschaft für das Schlagzeug, wechselte dann aber zur akustischen Gitarre. In Bands spielen und Songs schreiben schien Mair weitaus interessanter, als sich um ihren Schulabschluss zu kümmern. Später zog sie nach London und studierte Musik. Rhiannon Mair schrieb weiter eigene Songs und orientierte sich dabei an Größen wie Brian Molko (Placebo) und Matthew (Muse).
Ihr wachsendes Interesse an Folk und Singer-Songwriting führte sie zu Künstlern, wie KT Tunstall, Bjork und John Mayer.

Rhiannon Mair has music in her blood; her DNA a dancing double-helix of vibrant musicality and song-writing savvy.
Born and raised in Colchester, she was surrounded by music and musicians from an early age. A childhood love of drums progressing to acoustic guitar in her teens, playing in bands and writing songs seemed "far more interesting than doing GCSEs". Later moving to London to study Music Tech, Rhiannon continued to play and write songs, admiring the work of musicians such as Brian Molko (Placebo) and Matthew Bellamy (Muse).
A growing interest in folk and singer-songwriters led her to artists like KT Tunstall, Bjork and John Mayer. Her eclectic playing experience has produced an exciting and energetic live performer with an edgy style and great stage presence. A hybrid of Alanis Morrisette and KT Tunstall, but with her own distinctive voice and vocal delivery, Rhiannon Mair is impossible to ignore.
