Biography

Swiss-German duo BOY, formed in Hamburg in 2007 by Valeska Steiner and Sonja Glass, have released two albums to date: Mutual Friends (2011) and We Were Here (2015). Their debut single, ‘Little Numbers,’ with its charmingly improvised video amassing over 21 million YouTube hits, set the tone for their distinctively bittersweet, sometimes deceptively upbeat style. Achieving gold certification in Germany for Mutual Friends and charting Top 3 in both Germany and Switzerland with We Were Here, BOY has garnered a global following, with their music surpassing 250 million streams worldwide and earning praise from NPR and the New York Times for their warm, tuneful pop-folk songs.

Having toured extensively from Brazil to Belgium and receiving particular acclaim in the US, BOY made their debut in 2013, including performances at SxSW. NPR lauds them for their “warmth, breezy effervescence and lyrics shot through with the deeply human desire to be remembered and cherished,” while the New York Times praises their “tuneful, friendly, forthright pop-folk songs about life and relationships.” With their heartfelt melodies and Valeska Steiner's sweet, precise vocals, BOY continues to captivate audiences globally with their evocative music.
