I wasn't predestined to become a musician. Born in New York and raised by a German mother between Romandy and Zurich, I grew up constantly moving between cultures, and music was little more than a quiet companion. It wasn't until I was 16 that I discovered my love for singing through acting, and began teaching myself guitar. I went on to study Environmental Sciences at ETH Zurich but the dream of becoming a musician wouldn't let go.
In 2017, I stepped onto a stage for the first time at an Open Mic. That small moment changed everything. The person who first believed in my dream and supported me multiple ways was my friend Claire Braun. When she left this world far too soon, I nearly lost my passion with her. But it rebuilt itself stronger than ever and to carry on her legacy, I took on her last name and became Gini Brown.
In 2022, I quit my career as an environmental scientist to commit fully to music. I've worked in the industry for three years as a music editor at SRF and later lead a team for the music magazine starzone.ch. Creating multiple formats and supporting the Swiss music scene and getting to know many very talented musicians.
Alongside my guitarist Sabina Brunner, I've released two singles and a debut EP, Sun Down. A raw, guitar-driven alternative rock record exploring inner demons, vulnerability, and the quiet strength it takes to move forward. I've collaborated with producer Benji Alasu and worked with Mixed Signals Studio, and I'm currently recording a second EP with Julian Simmons.
I've performed across Switzerland and Germany, earned airplay on Couleur3, RTS Option Musique, Radio 3fach and more, landed a Spotify Fresh Finds GSA placement, and shared stages at venues including X-TRA Musikcafé, Rampe Openair, and Winterthurer Musikfestwochen.
My mission is simple: to heal through music, create cathartic moments, and bring female-fronted rock back to big stages.
