Lena Minder left her hometown of Zurich, Switzerland in 2017 and moved to Berlin after finishing her studies in music school. Under the artist name of «Liv Summer» the singer/songwriter has released two EP’s, Liv Summer (2015) and Over Land and Sea (2019). She has also toured extensively in Germany and Switzerland, performing numerous concerts, including many festivals and also as a support act of international artist (such as Luka Bloom, Sarah Klang, Tyler Ward). Her audiences have always been fascinated by her warm voice and captivating stage presence, which has allowed her to pursue her love of music and performing and gain many fans along the way.
In the beginning of 2020, she started to work on her debut album. Partly inspired by the decision to start using her real name, Lena Minder, she began experimenting with brand new sounds looking to develop herself as a solo artist. This also led to a new passion in producing. And now teaming up together with Cameron Laing at “The Famous Gold Watch Studios” in Berlin, she has been recording and producing these new visions. She describes her style as «Nostalgic Pop» experimenting with vocal harmonies, textures and acoustic loops.
«Lena Minder is a gal with a mission. She’s a songstress with a burgeoning desire and passion for her words.
She’s come a long way to do what she knows, deep in her heart, that she’s been built to do.”

Lena Minder hat Anfang 2017 alles in ihrer Heimat aufgegeben und ist nach ihrem Musikstudium von Zürich nach Berlin gezogen. Unter dem Künstlernamen «Liv Summer» hat die Singer/Songwriterin in den letzen Jahren bereits zwei EP’s veröffentlicht, Liv Summer (2015) und Over Land And Sea (2019) und tourte damit in ganz Deutschland und der Schweiz. Mit ihrer warmen Stimme und Bühnenpräsenz begeisterte sie ihr Publikum auf vielen Singer/Songwriter Bühnen und Festivals und war Support Act von internationalen Künstlern (u.a. Luka Bloom, Sarah Klang, Tyler Ward).
Während dem Lockdown in 2020 arbeitete Lena an ihrem Debut Album und wollte sich neu erfinden. Inspiriert durch die Entscheidung, sich von ihrem Künstlernamen zu trennen, machte sie sich auf die Suche nach ihrem ganz persönlichen Sound und produzierte sich weitgehend selbst. Gemeinsam mit Cameron Laing nahm sie ihre Visionen in den «The Famous Goldwatch» Studios in Berlin auf. Sie bezeichnete ihren Stil als «Nostalgic Pop» und experimentierte mit Stimmelementen und selbst eingespielten Loops.
