Sandra Gern

Sandra is a songwriter, producer, and performer. She has already toured with her solo project ‘Polar Noir’ alongside bands such as M83 and Cari Cari and played concerts in Germany, Poland, Austria, and Denmark. At the beginning of 2025, she released her debut album ‘Coming Up For Breath’, on which she combines dreamy, shoegazy synth-pop with environmental themes. The album brought her worldwide attention and rotated in the playlists of over 100 radio stations. At the same time, she works as a freelance music journalist and radio and event presenter. She has hosted and curated the music programme ‘Chelsea Hotel’ on the Munich radio station egoFM for over ten years, and has also been head of the editorial team for more than half of that time. She conducted hundreds of interviews for her programme, including with New Order, St. Vincent, Girl in Red, and Peter Doherty. In 2020, she was awarded the German Radio Prize in the ‘Best Programme’ category for her work and was honoured by the jury with the following words: “Chelsea Hotel is a gem that not only provides entertainment, but also awakens a desire for a style of music that is rarely heard on the radio. Sandra Gern also shows that music moderation can be casual and fact-oriented simultaneously.” She therefore knows the music industry from a wide variety of perspectives, and knows how to seamlessly transfer her diverse experience and skills between the different areas.
