“Very agile,
very relaxed
pop with a
lot of soul”
(Deutschlandfunk Kultur)
The newcomer from Austria is still an insider’s tip, but that is about to change: NNOA manages to combine autobiographical lyrics full of vulnerability and self-reflection with dynamic, club-ready music. “Give me a danceable beat and I’ll write the saddest lyrics,” says trained jazz singer Christina Kerschner aka NNOA, who currently lives in Mannheim, Germany. NNOA playfully combines countless musical influences in her music to create an unusual and fresh sound between R’n’B, soul, jazz and pop. Her love for artists such as Amy Winehouse, Erykah Badu, H.E.R. and Alicia Keys can be heard in her songs. NNOA has toured internationally as the lead singer of various jazz and neo-swing bands, and her live performances are absolutely captivating. Her debut album ‘Highs & Heartbreaks’ was released in November 2023 to rave reviews.

What the press says:
“NNOA sounds like the greats in pop” (Deutschlandfunk Kultur)
“The jazz-trained Austrian is full of ideas and playful. A highlight of her kitsch-infatuated debut ‘Highs & Heartbreaks’, which is inspired by Ella Fitzgerald, feminist heroines and Amy Winehouse drama, is probably the first Harry Potter love song.” (Rolling Stone Magazine)
