Evelinn Trouble

Evelinn Trouble is the moniker of the swiss-swedish singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Linnéa Racine. Since the release of her debut at age 17 she has put out several EP's and six full-length albums, «Season Indicators» (2024) being her latest. Her music is genre-fluid, combines heart-piercing vocals and lyrics with eerie, psychedelic soundworlds and has been described as "what it would sound like if Thom York and Patti Smith had a lovechild". Evelinn Trouble has been awarded many prizes, including the highly acclaimed Swiss Music Prize and her music is used for films and series internationally.

Born and raised in Zurich, she formed her first band at age 12: an all female grunge-trio that played the city's squats and underground spots. It's there that she was discovered by the artist Sophie Hunger, who took her on tour as a backing vocalist and encouraged her to perform solo. A step that led to her self-produced debut "Arbitrary Act", marking the beginning of her stage career with regular shows on the DYI circuit. Trouble spent most of her twenties living abroad, roaming the creative underground of New York, London and Berlin, each city leaving an imprint on her ever-evolving lyrical and sonic universe.

Next to her continuous output for her own project, Trouble has performed and written for the theatre stage, for films and for charting pop-artists. And she has a well-known love for interpretation that stems from her childhood, when her mother - a swedish jazz-singer - used to teach her jazz-standars. She's released an EP of covers ("Catharsis I-III"), performed Tom Wait's "Black Rider" and formed several tribute bands, including one for Velvet Underground and Black Sabbath.

After a year-long break from live-shows, Evelinn Trouble will return to the stage in 2026, with a new album she wrote during the hiatus that is centered around her favorite instrument: the baritone-guitar.
