LIE NING in Concert

Growing up in Berlin, LIE NING was exposed to a mixture of languages, images and melodies from an early age on, creating an interest for dance, fashion and fine arts. Music especially. From early on their mother showed them a world of rhythm and melodies, which would never let go of them again. Their voice emerged as the most powerful means of expression. Everything they couldn’t convey visually they wrote into songs.
With their EP “traffic songs for the inbetweens” the young singer delivered a debut of impressive maturity, depth andinternational format. Still in a balancing act in between indie, soul and r’n’b, LIE NING creates intense pop-moments andemotional pictures in dreamy landscapes that got sharp edged. With their highly anticipated debut album lined up, LIE NING opens the gates to a parallel universe and reveals a layer of their very own utopia. One of many.
What builds a person? How does society reflect on a persona? Who defines success? Who am I? Where do I stand and for whom? A society is built by many factors, attributes and components. So is a personality. "utopia" is a deep dive into one of many facettes of LIE NING lead by velvet vocals and intriguing intensity towards the place of deepest emotional vulnerability. Where realities collide.

In September, LIE NING is coming to Amsterdam. The concert is part of the project 'Slow Touring' an initiative by the Goethe-Institut.
