“Both evocative and frightening, triggering brand new emotions that have never been explored before with harp music.”– Wonderland Magazine

“Most compelling is the steampunk techno she creates by treating her wooden harp with hairpins, wax and sticky tape, like a prepared piano, to create percussive effects”– The Guardian

With her second studio album, ‘BOHÈME’, Kety Fusco transforms the harp into an entirely new voice, redefining what this instrument can represent in the contemporary music landscape. This is not just music: it’s a vision. It’s an invitation to explore a sound world that has never existed before.

Every sound in ‘BOHÈME’, which follows acclaim for Kety’s music from BBC 6 Music, The Guardian, Wonderland and more in the UK, originates from the harp, yet nothing is as it seems. Sound manipulations, underwater recordings, and unconventional techniques create a unique musical language, far from traditional boundaries. Among the boldest experiments, Kety literally submerged herself in a pool to record the sounds of the harp underwater, turning the instrument into a medium for narrating the unexpected. This daring approach shines in the opening track, ‘Hi, this is Harp’, a manifesto of sonic avant-garde.

The second single to come from ‘BOHÈME’ was born from an urgency. An impulse Kety Fusco couldn’t ignore. “When Iggy Pop spoke about my album THE HARP – CHAPTER I on the BBC, he said something that shook me to the core: “The harp is not heard as much””, explains Kety. “It felt like he was speaking directly to me. To the harp I carry in my heart, to my vision, to my voice and those words awakened something deep: the need to make the harp heard. To give it space, body, freedom. So, I took Iggy’s voice. I listened to it over and over. I chose some of his words the way you obsess over a single detail. I wove them into my music—instinctively, almost physically. ‘SHE’ was born as an intimate, personal gesture. A small secret that connected my soul to his voice”.

‘SHE’, which Craig Charles, Riley & Coe and Radcliffe & Maconie have already been spinning on BBC 6 Music, is a powerful encounter between two worlds. Two extremes that touch, recognize, and merge with one another. This track is a love letter to the harp. A way to say: “I see you, I hear you, I’m taking you further”. It’s also a challenge: to break the rules, to tear down the borders, and to make the harp resonate in spaces where it has never dared to go. “I expected nothing. But when I sent the track to Iggy, he replied. Not only with his approval, but with his authentic presence. His voice came alive in the piece, and my world opened up. ‘SHE’ is my heart, my skin, my revolution. And Iggy Pop’s voice is a living part of it”, Kety further adds.

The video for ‘SHE’ is set in a world long abandoned, where a drone hovers, desperately searching for traces of life, while fragile, ancient harmonies—like those of a harp—echo in the void. Like the drone, ‘SHE’ moves through a forgotten sonic landscape, chasing lost vibrations to give new voice to an ancient instrument, making it bold, alive, and free. ‘SHE’ is not just a track: it is a quest, a rebirth, a response to the silence of a forsaken world.

Discovering the harp at just 6 years old, Kety Fusco’s magnetic talent has now taken her to iconic stages such as the Royal Albert Hall, the Montreux Jazz Festival, the Swiss Federal Parliament, and the prestigious Euro Jazz Festival in Mexico. With over 200 concerts worldwide, Kety has redefined the role of the harp, bringing it to the most unexpected contexts: from the Notte della Taranta to the United Nations, and even on a tour of South America for the Swiss Embassies.

An unstoppable composer and creator, Kety has written soundtracks for a film and a documentary set to be released in 2025, as well as composed the theme music for the Rai Radio3 program Voci in Barcaccia. Her original works are a manifesto of artistic freedom, captivating audiences with their fusion of tradition and avant-garde. In 2024, she served as the Swiss juror for the Eurovision Song Contest, adding another milestone to her path of international excellence. The year 2025 promises to be a year of great achievements: in September, ‘BOHÈME’ will be released and with her collaboration with Iggy Pop on ‘SHE’, Kety Fusco is solidifying her place as a revolutionary figure in the global music scene.
