Evita Koné

Equally at ease with singing and rapping, Evita Koné puts her voice first and foremost in the service of groove. Navigating effortlessly between hip-hop, neo-soul, and R’n’B, the singer blends genres as she sees fit, drawing inspiration from her Swiss, Chadian, and American roots. Well-established in the local scene as the vocalist for Geneva-based group Captains Of The Imagination, she also launched a solo career that earned her the Swiss Live Talents award in 2022.
Her debut EP, Break — produced by Swiss beatmaker Christophe Calpini, known for his work with Alain Bashung, Rodolphe Burger, and Erik Truffaz — allowed her to assert her musical identity while breaking free from convention. From velvety soul to brooding hip-hop, from a deep, powerful voice to razor-sharp flow, Evita Koné does it all — even trip-hop, as shown in the track End Game, where the influences of Lauryn Hill and Tricky intertwine seamlessly
In her lyrics, she weaves together personal storytelling with political and social commentary — Drums, for instance, denounces the oppression of women and non-binary people.
She now returns with a preview of her new solo album, Build + Bloom — a much-anticipated and intimate performance at the Caves de Versoix, where her evolving artistry takes center stage.
