Back in 2024, while scrolling through my social media, I came across Longstreet Unchained concerts (which I immediately renamed Longstreet unplugged as they reminded me of the original: MTV Unplugged).
Longsteer Bar, where these concerts are held, used to be one of my favorite spots in Zurich, back in the day when I was still DJ-ing and going out. So, I was glad to see it still reinventing itself, attracting new crowds.
One of the concerts caught my attention not only because it was fun, charming, and bubbly, at the same time, but because of the singer, Naveni, and her talent. I haven't heard of her before, so I did a bit of research.
Naveni is a 23-year-old self-taught singer-songwriter and producer from Switzerland with Indian-English heritage. Even though there were some technical issues, and she seemed a bit nervous, she completely took over the stage and the audience. She switched between Swiss German and English, making jokes about herself and explaining the songs she was performing. The gig was not perfect, but it was genuine, entertaining, and fun, while clearly showcasing Naveni's talent as an artist and performer.
Afterwards, I reached out to Naveni for an interview. It took us a while to find a time that worked for both of us, but finally, in March 2025, we got together for the video call and interview. We talked about everything: her new album (currently in the making), her upbringing, finding her path to becoming the person and the artist she is today, and even her hair. The interview was honest, unfiltered, and delightfully human - my favorite kind.
Tune in to Gimme a Beat tonight (16.02.2026) to hear all of this and more, while listening to Naveni's music, including her brand new single💙: Better Man, released on Friday, February 13th, 2026, and her selection of songs by female artists.
Check also the relevant Spotify or Deezer playlist.
