Based in Munich, Sorina Kiefer is an artist who applies her talents across music, dance and acting to bring to life her own creative vision. Raised in a religious household, her first steps into music began with the organ at church and her musical curiosity later blossomed when her mother gifted her a piano, marking the start of her lifelong artistic exploration.
Alongside her musical pursuits, Sorina trained rigorously in dance under the mentorship of acclaimed Canadian choreographer Sean Cheesman, known for his work on So You Think You Can Dance, The Bodyguard and Michael and Janet Jackson’s iconic “Scream” video. In her twenties, she transitioned from dance to acting and singing, discovering a profound connection to storytelling through music. What began as poetry evolved into songwriting, allowing her to channel personal and wider social struggles into a baroque pop sound infused with emotion.
As an actress, Sorina has appeared in notable productions, including the action musical Hard Way on Disney Plus in Europe and she also performed in West Side Story at Austria’s prestigious Salzburg Festival, working alongside Grammy-winning conductor Gustavo Dudamel. Influenced by the likes of Sarah McLachlan, Sia and P!nk, Sorina’s musical output is built on an ability to address difficult themes with both vulnerability and strength.
Her highly unique artistic background comes to life in her debut single, “America,” a haunting piano-driven anthem that serves as both a protest and a call to reflection. Featuring rhythmic drums and Sorina’s commanding vocals, the track confronts the political and social turbulence in the United States. For Sorina, the song is a response to her disillusionment with the idealised American dream and an expression of grief over the nation’s struggles.
“America” distils cinematic grandeur with a subtly gritty edge, blending heartfelt lyricism with a powerful arrangement. Its themes of division, identity and determination connect far beyond borders, urging listeners to consider the state of the nation and the human cost of its turmoil.
Driven by shuffling rhythmic groove and capped by her powerful and impassioned vocal performance, “America” sees Sorina Kiefer make a compelling entrance with a stellar debut single. Paired with the song is a music video directed Oliver Mohr which features Sorina performing the song in front of multiple screens displaying an array of scenes from conflicts to artistic expressions, resulting in a gripping visual accompaniment for the music.
