Pippa is a Viennese artist with a knack for poppy, catchy, danceable melodies. Her signature sound sometimes ventures into the spheres of experimental electronics, only to give way at other times to a calm carpet of instruments on which thoughtful but always hopeful lyrics are embedded. Sometimes so straightforward that it is both liberating and frightening, at other times abstract, almost fairytale-like, Pippa tells of her world, which suddenly seems very familiar.

Pippa was nominated for the Austrian Amadeus Music Award 2024 for Best Songwriter for ‘Alles Ok’, a single from her successful third studio album BLICK. The fact that Pippa is not satisfied with a straightforward life in the comfort zone is now proven once again by the artist in a new creative phase, which was heralded by the single ‘Nichts Tun’, released in May. ‘Nichts Tun’ is an anti-anthem and an ode to everything that has no place in our meritocracy. Pippa shovels free a taboo whose existence can make you so tired - resting. In her upcoming releases, Pippa will trample on staggering norms and clear a path that will lead to her fourth studio album ‘Träume auf Zement’ (Dreams on Cement), which will be released in spring 2025.
