Young, authentic, and fearless in expressing herself through music – that’s Eileen Alister.

With a steadily growing fanbase, the 22-year-old singer and songwriter, born and raised in Zurich, Switzerland, is becoming one of the most promising new names in the emerging music scene.

Eileen first gained attention with the house collaboration "Voices" – now surpassing 3 million streams – and the collab "I Want..." with Benjamin Amaru. However, it was the release of her song Lifetime Lover in January 2024 that truly defined her artistic style and marked a significant breakthrough. Since then, the young artist’s career has been on a steep upward trajectory.

Her first festival season in 2024 was a remarkable success. In June, she opened the ZOA Festival for Hozier, captivating an audience of around 5,000 people. Another highlight of her festival summer was her performance at the Gurtenfestival, where she not only played on the Campfire stage but also spontaneously stepped in for another artist on the larger Waldbühne stage, making her the only artist to perform twice that day. In her intensive first festival season, Eileen Alister was able to gain valuable experience - on both large and small stages. From the renowned Zurich Openair to Seaside Spiez, a total of 18 appearances rounded off the summer.

With her highly anticipated debut Eileen is stepping into the next chapter of her career. In October 2025, she will embark on her first major European tour. Her determination and authentic songwriting make one thing clear: Eileen is exactly where she belongs, and her journey in the music industry is only just beginning.
