Austrian ARTISTS at TGE 2026:
Mira Taylor
Mira Taylor has been immersed in music for as long as she can remember. She began writing songs at the age of five—still smaller than her guitar—swapping imaginary melodies for formal music lessons. After moving to Vienna and experiencing the isolation of being “the new kid,” she discovered songwriting as a source of comfort and empowerment. Music became a space where she could belong—and where others soon followed.
Blending melancholy, Billie Eilish–like vocals with Joni Mitchell’s raw introspection and the wistfulness of contemporary indie pop, Mira crafts atmospheric songs that resonate on an emotional level. Her latest single, Dizzy, has attracted a diverse and devoted fan community known as the “Miracles,” a space defined by openness and inclusivity.

Lukas Oscar
A rising voice from the Viennese scene, Lukas Oscar is a singer-songwriter and music producer, who seamlessly blends emotional lyrics with heartfelt instrumentals. His latest album The Fun Never Ends!, released in October 2024, tackles themes of self-criticism, obsession, existential questions and the pressures of competition. His mission is to foster acceptance and recognition of difficult emotions as he believes that due to the often self-destructive and chaotic nature of our inner worlds everyone needs an outlet of some kind.
