Release of the first EP by Swiss artist Izia Jeen
The universe of the 24-year-old Swiss artist blends colors and emotions. Professionally trained in musical theater and leading the troupe Les Quesaco, Izia Jeen will achieve several of her wildest dreams in 2024: the release of her first songs and her first music video, PROUD REBEL.
Izia Jeen infuses her music with powerful messages and values that are dear to her. She draws inspiration from artists such as Michael Jackson, Renaud, Aretha Franklin, Ben Mazué, Suzane, and Les Cowboys Fringants.
Convinced that art can bring about great change, Izia Jeen advocates for social and environmental justice. This desire to bring color to the world is reflected in her song lyrics and her stage performances.
Her first EP, «LA LÉGENDE DU COLIBRI,» will be released on November 15, 2024, and includes five tracks: À CONTRE COURANT, SAND IN YOUR POCKETS, CRO-MAGNON, CONNEXION, and PROUD REBEL.
EP launch on November 15 at the RKC in Vevey 
PROUD REBEL, a music video that dances and shines
Izia Jeen : «Proud Rebel is a song that allowed me to put words to my unique journey as a teenager. I have always been a rebel at heart, and I have been more than ever in choosing music as my profession. This song speaks of struggle, strength, pride, independence, and positivity, highlighting the values that are dear to me. The lyrics remind us that we are stronger together and that dancing in the dark helps us find the light.
For the composition and recording of Proud Rebel, as well as for the production of the music video, I knocked on the doors of the people I dreamed of working with. The doors opened, and today I am realizing what my younger self always imagined: creating my own music by writing lyrics with powerful messages, dancing with friends, choosing the craziest costumes and sets, inviting my close circle to appear in the video, bringing Michael Jackson back to life, laughing, crying, and wearing a sequined dress.
The story of the video reflects this life journey, with a nod to my younger self at the beginning and end of the clip. My fears are represented by the wolf, my failures by the dance audition, and my dreams by the final choreography surrounded by people I love and with whom I share the same passion for the stage, all in the theater that saw me grow up: the Théâtre Barnabé in Servion. Proud Rebel is a dream come true.
A dream that has lived within me since childhood and promises to last for a long time.»
