life and career

Sigrid Horn alias Giga Ritsch, performance with Yasmo MC (2014)

She has been performing as a singer since she was 16 years old. The quartet wosisig ( Mostviertel dialect for “what I see”) was formed around 2007 together with Bernhard Affengruber, Stefanie Kropfreiter and Philipp Gollonitsch, which, after participating in 2007 and 2008, achieved third place in the FM4 - protest song contest in 2012 and eighth in 2013 . It was there that I made contact with Mieze Medusa and Yasmo and for some time turned to the spoken word area with hip-hop and poetry slams under the pseudonym Giga Ritsch . On Yasmo's album No Place for Doubt (2013) she was involved in several tracks as Giga Ritsch.

The record label bader molden recordings , which had only recently been founded , was released in 2018 with sog i bin weg, the first album of their dialect music under their own name. She appreciates the Mostviertel dialect, as she explains, because it gives her "more options for vowels and consonants" when singing than in standard German , which "ensures a different vocal seat, different vowel colors". The themes of her songs range from very personal experiences to socially critical and feminist content. At her concerts she appears solo, as well as in a duo or trio with Sarah Metzler ( harp and voice) and Bernhard Scheiblauer ( concertina , ukulele and voice).

With her song baun , in which she protested against the increasing urban sprawl in the Austrian countryside, she won the FM4 protest song contest in 2019. Solo or as a guest singer with the band Third Hand , she appeared on stage at Thursday demonstrations , including in Amstetten and St. Pölten .

Her second album I bleib do was released in spring 2020 . Shortly before the lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic , which initially prevented further live concerts from mid-March 2020, she presented the new program as part of the Festival Ganz Wien, dedicated to the “New Vienna Song”, in the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg and in the Vienna Rabenhof Theater .

Sigrid Horn has lived in Vienna since she was a student.
