KØLEEN



ABOUT KØLEEN
KØLEEN is an Austrian singer, songwriter, forester and art director whose music blends pop with folk and country influences — warm, emotional, and always authentic. With over 1.6 million streams, national radio play (Ö3, Kronehit), and standout performances both solo and with her live band, she’s become a rising voice in Austria’s independent music scene.
Her songs explore themes of freedom, joy, and vulnerability. In 2023, her single “Sold Your Soul” was featured as the title track in the Austrian film Keinen Schritt zurück! directed by Vesely Marek, highlighting her artistic range.
As a visual storyteller, KØLEEN has also made a name for herself behind the camera. Most notably, she art directed the music video for “Wasted Love” — Austria’s winning entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 — transforming a studio into an enchanted forest and designing a handcrafted boat for the emotional centerpiece scenes.
Her newest single “I Like It Like That” brings a lighthearted, feel-good energy to the table, celebrating self-love and creative freedom. The video, spontaneously filmed during another shoot and edited by KØLEEN herself, reflects her instinctive, hands-on style.
Originally from Styria and now based in Vienna, KØLEEN is currently working on her debut album, featuring new sounds and international collaborations — staying true to her vision of creating art that connects, uplifts, and stays real.
