For someone in their mid 20s, performing over 350 concerts worldwide is no mean feat.  Veronica Fusaro, whom we meet over a video call, has done just that. At 25, the Swiss singer, songwriter and guitarist, has performed at Glastonbury, Eurosonic, and the Winter Olympics, among others, and also opened for Dire Straits in 2019.

Based in Thun, Fusaro always leaned towards music. She was part of school choirs, and was unwaveringly supported by her teachers. When she was in Grade III, she began guitar lessons. “I enjoyed that [playing the guitar] but I didn’t enjoy the lessons,” she says. Eventually, she quit the lessons, but not the instrument. “I got more and more into it, and fell deeper in love with music and songwriting. Music was always there for me; it was a natural process.”
