Lumï

Lumï is a Swiss electro indie duo made up of Nadja Stoller and Oli Kuster. They work in a sound that combines electronic and indie elements, and they present as a duo rather than a larger band.

Background

The act emerges from Switzerland. The two members are both trained vocalists, and their first attention comes online through a series of intimate cover versions. Those recordings attract a large response, with their harmonies reaching hundreds of thousands of listeners.

Songwriting and development

That online momentum leads to a collaboration with Portuguese singer-songwriter MARO, which becomes an important turning point. After that experience, the pair decide to begin creating original music of their own. They had not previously written their own songs, so they retreat to work together in a room and develop new material from scratch. Two weeks later, they come out with a set of original songs that they feel represent them more clearly.
