Janine Cathrein, vocalist and songwriter, leads the Swiss folk-pop band Black Sea Dahu, which was created in Zürich in 2017. The group's debut EP, White Creatures, was published in 2018. It was influenced by folk traditions, indie pop, and cinematic storytelling. Members studied classical and contemporary music, combining acoustic instruments with modern arrangements. Early performances at Swiss festivals immediately drew a devoted and expanding audience.

Their debut full-length album, I Am My Mother (2020), made the Swiss Album Charts Top 10. Black Sea Dahu toured extensively over Europe, appearing at festivals such as the Montreux Jazz Festival and Reeperbahn. Critics lauded tracks like "Rivers" and "Know You Better," and partnerships with producers like Christof Baumgartner improved their unique sound. Nominations for the Swiss Music Prize and recognition for songwriting quality are among the awards presented.

Black Sea Dahu continues to tour in support of their latest album, No Fire in the Sand. Live presentations offer intimate arrangements, evocative harmonies, and audience-resonating storytelling moments. Favorite songs like "Dancing on Graves" and "I Am My Mother" have audiences on their feet.
