Marie Diot is a singer-songwriter. Her music is a mixture of catchy indie pop, elegant chanson and lots of fun. At her concerts, you can enjoy quirky, funny announcements and songs that could be hits. It may be unlikely that they will actually become hits, as they are about things that are not immediately hit-worthy. For example, they are about intercoms, lost front door keys and fishing without a hook. But Marie succeeds in singing about even such curious topics with her unbiased view and her cheerfully witty manner, so that in the end everyone in the audience can find themselves in the songs. Because you always understand what Marie has to say straight away, but then think about it anyway.
Marie Diot released her debut album "Pinguin im Tutu - Weiß nicht, ob er Tänzer ist" in 2017. The follow-up "Apfel im Strudel der ewigen Liebe" was released in November 2020, on which the singer-songwriter presents herself as musically and thematically versatile, deftly balancing melancholy and silliness, indie pop and chanson, all united by her unique style. Supported by the fabulous multi-instrumentalist Fabian Großberg, her concerts have already taken her all over Germany and Switzerland.
"Marie Diot reminded us of a young and female Helge Schneider, especially in her self-deprecating speeches between songs. She quickly had the audience on her side with her wit."
SÜDWEST PRESSE
"Her mission: to discover the lyrical and ingenious in the trivial. [...] Wordplay spoilers will unfortunately have to wait outside."
HAZ
"Funny and cheeky, with their hearts in the right place and on their tongues, with a lot of fun with the finest sentence acrobatics."
CELLESCHE ZEITUNG
"Sly, to the point and against the grain, with pragmatic poetry and serene presence"
