Stefanie Heinzmann Takes Over «Sing meinen Song» on 3+

The secret is out: Stefanie Heinzmann will be the new host of «Sing meinen Song – Das Schweizer Tauschkonzert» on 3+. The Valais native is following in the footsteps of Dodo, who is stepping down after four seasons. With Stefanie Heinzmann as host, a woman is taking the helm of Switzerland’s most popular music show for the first time.

Heinzmann is familiar with the format from personal experience: She appeared on the German version of *Tauschkonzert* and was part of the first season of the Swiss edition. «Having had the chance to experience this magical atmosphere twice before, I’m grateful to be back as the host. I’m simply fascinated by this format. You get to see new sides of the musicians and learn the stories behind the songs—I’m really looking forward to that,» says Stefanie Heinzmann.

From Stefan Raab's talent show to the Elbphilharmonie

The singer from Valais began her career in 2008 when, at the age of 18, she won TV entertainer Stefan Raab’s talent show. Since then, she has released seven albums and received numerous awards, including the Echo, the Comet, the 1Live Krone, the MTV Europe Music Awards, and multiple Swiss Music Awards. She is best known, among other things, for her song «My Man Is a Mean Man.».

Heinzmann has performed more than 500 concerts worldwide with her band—including a performance at the legendary Apollo Theater in New York. Her versatility is also evident in the range of her engagements: She served as a judge on «The Voice of Switzerland,» «Popstars,» and «KiKA Dein Song,» competed in the «Free Eurovision Song Contest» and «The Masked Singer,» and sang alongside greats such as Lionel Richie, Joss Stone, Udo Lindenberg, Peter Maffay, James Blunt, and Stress. Together with violinist Miki Kekenj’s chamber ensemble, she filled the Grand Hall of the Elbphilharmonie twice in a single day.
