In her lyrics, 24-year-old Berliner Cloudy June addresses her own bisexuality, queer sex, masturbation, equality and feminism, quickly becoming a role model and queer icon of Gen Z. Cloudy June's big breakthrough came in 2022 with her single "FU In My Head" and her modern pop sound, which stands out with influences from alternative and electropop. Since then, she has released two EPs and an album, further cementing her status as an up-and-coming pop star. In October, the singer will be coming to Hamburg, Berlin, Munich and Cologne on her You Ruined Me But It Was Fun Tour 2025.
The singer began writing her first song lyrics at the age of nine. In her youth, she was fascinated by Berlin street rap, pop artists such as Lana Del Rey and Frank Ocean as well as death metal and tried out singing in a metal band. After graduating from high school, she began studying music. She found her way to pop in 2020 when she debuted under her stage name Cloudy June with her single "High Waist to Hell" and landed the first major success of her career that same year with "Pretty Pills for Broken Hearts" alongside other singles. Following on from this, "Unthinkable" became another standout track in 2021, before her song "FU In My Head" broke her previous records in 2022 and became the most successful track of her young career on the "Unthinkable" EP with almost 50 million streams on Spotify. The single ultimately marked the much-predicted breakthrough for the artist, who quickly grew into one of the most promising pop stars of her generation with a major label behind her. After the EP "21st Century Princess" (2023) and the single "You Problem" feat. emlyn, further singles such as "Red Flag" and "Crazy Woman" paved the way for the singer's eponymous debut album. "Crazy Woman" was released in November 2024 and revealed influences ranging from EDM and indie to Latin, all of which find their way into Cloudy June's sound. In February 2025, the Berlin-based singer returned with her latest single "if jesus saw what we did last night", drifting into electronic spheres of sound and wrapping her voice in a powerful piano ballad with a modern alt-pop attitude and a healthy dose of theatricality.
