Andrea Schmider

Following the success of her last releases 2023, 2024 and 2025 - with a total of over 115,000 streams and several radio placements - Swiss singer-songwriter Andrea Schmider is releasing yet another single: Circles is the fourth and last single off the upcoming EP Potpourri - whisch is scheduled for release later this spring. Born and raised at the gateway to the Bernese Oberland, it was clear from an early age that this child liked to express herself audibly. She discovered the use of her voice long before the use of her legs and entertained the neighborhood with her Sunday school repertoire. During her school years, she learned to play the violin and then discovered her true passion: singing. Stim- morgan practiced for hours to the records of Whitney Houston, Sandy Patti and Amy Grant. At the age of fifteen, she appeared on stage for the first time in a musical choir, played piano in her church, sang as a soloist and wrote her first songs. After a decade of experience as a background singer and soloist in choirs - both live (e.g. at the Theater National Bern and the Parkarena Winterthur) and in the studio - she took to the stage in 2010 with an acoustic solo program. The trademark of her music is her expressive and varied voice - whether in her own compositions or in the interpretation of well-known melodies. The debut EP Beauty from Ashes with four original compositions was released in 2012, followed by the first full album Promise of Spring in 2016. With a top-class band and now a total of 15 songs in their luggage, they went on tour, e.g. at the Kulturlokal ONO Bern and twice each at the Alte Schmitte Steffisburg and the Alti Moschti Mühlethurnen. They also stopped off at radio stations such as Radio BeO, Radio Lifechannel and various indie radio stations for interviews and performances. Some still have the single Colors of the Heart in rotation. At the beginning of 2023, after devoting herself to other projects and further training (including an MAS in Pop/Rock at Bern University of the Arts), she returned to the studio to produce the EP Movin' On, which was released on November 3, 2023. The two singles Words Are Hard to Find and Fallin' can also be heard on various radio stations, including Radio Swiss Pop. In January 2024, five live videos were filmed and published on YouTube. In 2024, a further 5 songs were also written for the EP Potpourri, which is due to be released in spring 2025. Produced once again by successful producer Manuel Halter, this time with musicians such as Christian Heidenbauer, Matthias Meusel and Paddy Gruber, who have performed on stage and in the studio with greats such as Luca Hänni, Remo Forrer, Michael Patrik Kelly and Stefanie Heinzmann. The first single Fractured Beauty achieved considerable success with over 17k streams in the first 50 days and we can look forward to the further releases.
