Chicago- USA - Switzerland is only the #12 pop music market in the world -- it is behind the huge #4 German music market, but a trifle ahead of the #14 Austrian music market.
And they are all light-years behind the huge #1 USA pop music market and the secondary UK and Japanese pop music markets.
But we have little enclaves of Swiss/American settlements in the US -places like New Glarus, Wisconsin (which this writer has visited) and the Swiss/Americans do seem to be very nice people.
We only occasionally cover Swiss pop/schlager performers - and only when we find a good one - and we believe that we have done that once again: her name is Nathalie Weider.
Nathalie Weider is from a little Swiss suburban village - not far from Zurich.
Like so many schlager singers - her dad was a musical performer, and brought her up in a musical context.
She attended Prep school in Switzerland and later went on to collegiate studies in business and marketing.
But her true love was music - and in that she excelled. And WOW! Did she ever!
What makes her truly interesting is that she is a huge tennis fan and actually sang at the Polish/Swiss tennis finals in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland, a few years ago and her song conjoined German and Polish lyrics - what a truly amazing and multi-talented girl!
She's not really schlager - but kind of rock/pop - but she is cute - and we really like her - so you can decide for yourselves.
Here's Nathalie Weider in her totally au courant pop/rock Drei Worte (Three Words) - She told CSMR that the grafitti that she put up with a magic marker on the elevator walls was all sent in by email from her fans:
Here's Nathalie Weider singing in both German and Polish at the Davis Cup tennis tournament road show in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland:
