Soap&Skin is the musical project of Austrian musician and producer Anja Plaschg, who has gained a reputation for her darkly emotive and avant-garde compositions. Born on April 5, 1990, in Poppendorf, Anja began playing piano at a young age and was composing by the time she was a teenager. Plaschg rose to international attention with her eerie, minimalist soundscapes, combined with hauntingly powerful vocals, which often delve into personal and existential themes. She debuted with the album "Lovetune for Vacuum" in 2009 to critical acclaim, and the subsequent releases have continued to cement her status as an innovative artist in the experimental and electronic music scenes.

Soap&Skin's music transcends easy categorization, as it incorporates elements of classical, electronic, and experimental music to create a unique and deeply affecting listening experience. Her latest work includes the album "From Gas to Solid / you are my friend," released in 2018, which showcases an evolution in her sound, pushing the boundaries of her art while maintaining the raw intensity and emotional depth characteristic of her work. With recent tracks like "What's Up?" and "Drag Shift," alongside collaborations such as "Ich tauche auf (feat. Soap&Skin)," Plaschg has continued to explore the sonic landscape with an evocative and fearless approach, establishing Soap&Skin as a singular voice in contemporary music.
