BOY

Singer Valeska Steiner, originally from Zürich, Switzerland, and German Sonja Glass met at Hamburg University in 2005. Two years later, they formed BOY and began performing a series of concerts. They were then spotted by Grönland Records label boss Herbert Grönemeyer, who signed them in 2011 and enabled them to record the acoustic EP Hungry Beast. Their debut album, Mutual Friends, followed in September 2011. It quickly climbed the German album charts, reaching number 14, while the single "Little Numbers" illustrated a number of films and a Lufthansa airline advert in 2012, taking the singles chart as far as Japan, where it reached number 4. In 2013, the duo embark on their first North American tour and begin work on their second LP, We Were Here, released in 2015.
