MELISSA LISCHER

In 2013, Swiss singer-songwriter Melissa Lischer released her first single “Come Closer.” The song gained wide airplay not only in Switzerland but also in Brazil, where it became one of the top 10 most played songs on one of the country’s largest radio stations. The music video now counts over 120,000 views.

Melissa discovered her passion for music at the age of six. At sixteen, she became the lead singer of the locally known Lucerne Big Band “Föhn”, performing at venues such as Stadtkeller Luzern, Luzerner Musikfest, and the Willisau Jazz Festival. Early studio sessions followed, laying the foundation for her development as a solo artist. Years of vocal training and mentorship by renowned vocal coach and songwriter Andy Dossenbach, along with piano and guitar lessons, shaped her distinctive musical voice.

In 2014, she released her debut album “The Creation”, produced by Andreas “Schibä” Scheiben (Klangmalerei) and mastered by Dan Suter (echochamber). Numerous live performances followed, including one at the prestigious Lucerne Art and Convention Center (KKL). In 2017, she released the EP “Honest Song”, further establishing her heartfelt and authentic sound.

In the years that followed, Melissa released several singles including “24/7 – twentyfourseven”, “Always After You”, “Seashell” and “Pearl In The Seashell.” In 2024, she launched her deeply personal song “Hey Life” in parallel with her first book: “Melissa Lischer – Gebrochen. Gerufen. Geheilt.” – a biographical work chronicling her personal journey of healing and transformation.

Her most recent release, “Stay”, marks a new creative chapter. With unwavering joy in songwriting and storytelling, Melissa continues to evolve – and her journey is far from over.
