Seit der Gründung im Frühling 2007 sind You&I aus Zürich vom Duo zu einem Indie-Folk-Quartett um die Singer/Songwriter Sonja San und Tobi Tonewheel angewachsen.
Mit Schlagzeug, Kontrabass, Klavier, Gitarre und atemberaubender Stimmgewalt ruhen sich You&I nicht auf bewährten Konzepten aus, sondern wagen sich stets auf unbekanntes Terrain und fesseln so den Zuhörer immer wieder aufs Neue mit ihrer aufrichtigen Musik.
Im Sommer 2009 veröffentlichte die Band ihre erste EP «We See Through The Night». Neben zahlreichen Konzerten in der Schweiz und einer erfolgreichen Portugal-Tour brachte ihnen die EP auch einen Platz in den Top 10 der FNAC Portugal Album Charts im September und den Titel als DRS3 mx3-Band der Woche ein.
Die Songs von You&I offenbaren melancholische Texte, Leidenschaft, Hingabe und die Verzweiflung gebrochener Herzen – manche akustisch, pur und reduziert, in anderen entfaltet sich die ganze instrumentale Kraft der Band.
Line-Up:
Sonja «San» Santi – vocals
Tobi «Tonewheel» Vogler – guit, piano, vocals
Rodrigo «Rodeo» Aravena – (double) bass, backing vocals
Flo «Flam» Vogler – drums, percussion, backing vocals

Having originally set out as a duo in spring 2007, You&I have gradually been growing into a quartet around the singer-songwriters Sonja San and Tobi Tonewheel, now armed with drums, double bass, piano, guitar and vocal power. Never satisfied with the tried and tested, always boldly exploring new territory, You&I captivate their audience time and time again with their indie-folk-music.
In the summer of 2009, the band released their debut-EP «We See Through The Night» which comprehends melancholic lyrics, passion, devotion and desperation of broken hearts in six beautiful songs – sometimes acoustic, reduced and pure – sometimes supported by entire instrumental strength – always raw and honest.
You&I’s fan base has since grown, thanks to many shows and a tour through Portugal. Since 2011, You&I are working on their first full-length record which they recorded in their own studio and which will be mixed by grammy-winner Alex Venguer in New York and mastered by Switzerland’s own Dan Suter at his echochamber in Zürich.
Line-Up:
Sonja «San» Santi – vocals
Tobi «Tonewheel» Vogler – guit, piano, vocals
