The Norwegian singer Guro von Germeten, stands out as delightfully burlesque with melodic boldness, intriguing lyrics, a great voice and a heart made of pure passion – all with a twist of vintage jazz, enchanting pop melodies, balkan beats and a touch of film noir. She originaly trained to become an opera singer, but picking up her first red accordion six years ago really changed her life and love in music, and there has been no looking back since. She is being hailed by major German newspapers as the best Norway has delivered since the oil, by Kongsberg Jazzfestival as one of the most original artists on the European music scene, and by By:larm as electric, powerful and dramatic.

Guro von Germeten has been the face of Vienna International Accordion Festival, she has graced the cover of Norways biggest jazz magazine Jazznytt and been featured in several articles and reviews both nationally and abroad. In addition to her visiting festivals such as Vancouver Accordion Noir, Canal Street, Slottsfjell, By:Larm, Oslo World Music Festival, The Arts festival of North Norway and Vestfold, she has been touring Norway, Germany, Canada, Switzerland, Russia and Austria, with great success. She has given a number of live performances on Norwegian broadcast, and in 2012 she was given the honor to play for Aung San Suu Kiy when she came to receive her Nobel Peace Prize in Norway. In January she recieved the 2014 Prøysen Art Grand for writing her third album – this time in Norwegian.

In 2009, after finishing a degree as a Master of Arts Management at the University of Vienna, she continued her studies in Copenhagen at the institute of Cathrine Sadolin, Complete Vocal Institute.
