Lara Hulo

Lara Hulo captivates her audience with her distinctive, raspy voice, reminiscent of the days of Nina Hagen or Hildegard Knef. Her lyrics tell stories from her life as a queer young woman and deal with searching for, finding, holding on to, and losing love. Whether packaged as a quiet ballad or a self-assured musical statement, Lara Hulo effortlessly strikes the right note to shed light on her experiences and her aspirations as a woman. The fact that her songs lose none of their indie lightness is due to the artist’s charismatic nature and her talent for blending melancholy and humor. Lara surely owes her refreshing nonconformity to her experience from over ten years of busking, which makes her come across as loud, powerful, and yet fragile on stage. “I don’t just want to be your side b*tch. I’d rather stay all alone”—ever since her viral hit from November 2023, at the very latest, Lara Hulo, born in Schleswig and living in Berlin, has stood for uncompromising authenticity, for attitude, self-determination, and for not belittling one’s own voice. And for an artist who knows exactly what she wants.
