The strategy has been one of the secrets. The music of Basel's own Zian was meant to emerge out of nowhere, a pirate ship on the horizon, with a short artist name and cunningly crafted songs were the only signals. Alas, the plan worked out. For months, the artist anchored in the Swiss charts, achieving gold and glory. The ballad «Show You» alone sailed through the Hit Parade for 19 weeks. Zian and his allies spent a long time honing their songs. They took their time and produced high-quality goods that, once launched, could prevail in a completely unpredictable market. We are delighted that Zian will kick off our Rhein-Reigen this year.
