Anne Pe is a singer-songwriter from the Black Forest region, Germany.
Guided by her intuitive compass, she moves with an elfin lightness through the landscapes of folk, indie, world and lyrical pop.
The magazine AKUSTIK Gitarre described her music as
“full of great calm and inner strength,” while SCHALL music magazine called it “a homage to love and freedom,” and the German radio station SWR3 nominated her debut Glowing Seas as “Favorite Album of the Year” at the German Pop Culture Awards in 2017.
Her first gig she played in Sydney.
After almost a year in Australia, she found a new musical home in late-90s Berlin, where she stayed for seven years. Eventually, the pull of forests and mountains led her back to the green hills of Southwest Germany, where she now lives and weaves her delicate, poetic song ideas.
Anne Pe’s second studio album Songs and Lines was released in October 2025 – an album about inner and outer lines, about traces running through bodies, cities, time and memory.
She co-produced and arranged the record, created an artbook with her own hand-painted artworks for each song, played many of the instruments herself, and captured what became the album’s most meaningful recording:
During a journey to West Africa, world-renowned djembé master Famoudou Konaté recorded the djembé for her song Brothers and Swans in Guinea.
In Senegal, she visited another well-known musical family and collaborated with her new musical partner, singer and kora player Moussa Cissokho (Senegal/Austria), recording material and shooting a video for their song Island.
The album’s opener Archive of Layers was played on SWR4 Radio just one week after its release, accompanied by an interview.
“Anne Pe, singer and multi-instrumentalist, has released an unconventional, enchanting workbook together with several musicians and producer Julius Münnig. There is much that is unusual about this record: Pe sometimes switches languages mid-song, and there are extraordinary harmonic shifts, which contribute to the magic of the album.”
Her debut album Glowing Seas
received strong support from press and radio.
Her music was featured by big radio stations like SWR1, SWR3, SWR4, NDR, and numerous online and local stations.
SWR1 invited her for an interview and an unplugged session; AKUSTIK Gitarre published a full artist portrait and included the title track on the magazine’s CD. The German edition of ELLE recommended her song Seagull as a “dream song,” and the respected music magazine SCHALL described her sound as “a fine blend of Anna R. and Taylor Swift, yet far more grounded than chart pop.”
In the UK Songwriting Contest 2016, her song Seal Woman reached the finals, with five additional songs making it to the semi-finals.
Anne’s first TV appearance with her band took place in March 2018 on the SWR show Kaffee oder Tee.
