Two Swiss pop musicians have been nominated for one of the German industry awards Echo Pop 2013. The award will be presented on March 21 in the halls of Messe Berlin.
In the category Newcomer International the Bernese DSDS winner ("Deutschland sucht den Superstar") Luca Hänni is nominated. He is up against Alex Clare, Lana Del Rey, Of Monsters and Men and Emeli Sandé. At the Swiss Music Awards a few days ago, Hänni already proved himself as the Best Breaking Act National against Eliane and Müslüm.
A nomination in the category Club / Dance National / International goes to DJ Antoine, probably the most successful Swiss pop music export at the moment. His single "Ma Chérie" has sold a million copies. At this year's Swiss Music Awards, he is nominated in the category Best Hit National but came away empty-handed.
