From Reality Star to Singer: Chanelle Wyrsch and Her New Path to the Mallorca Stage

The Stage Awaits: Chanelle Wyrsch Wants to Make It as a Musician

You often see her at Playa de Palma, with a sunhat, guitar, or headphones in hand — and you can tell: she isn't someone who just suns on the celebrity beach. Chanelle Wyrsch, 28, has tried a lot in recent years: casting shows, reality TV, TV roles. Now she is consistently betting on music and speaks openly about what that really means.

Her first big appearance on Mallorca was anything but cozy. A few days of preparation, a too-short set, and an audience that showed little mercy. Such evenings are burned into her memory: "I learned how to grab people's attention — with energy, tempo, and exactly the songs that hit," she says, as a motorboat quietly passes by in the background. This experience gave her respect for the live business, but also determination.

More Music, Less Headlines

The small summer hit "Are You Single?" made her known, but Chanelle wants more than a one-hit-wonder at the Ballermann. She writes her own songs, plays guitar, piano and has previously learned drums. Her goal sounds simple yet hard: to be taken seriously as an artist — not just as a famous TV blonde.

Her plan: fewer parties, more rehearsals. Networking instead of counting only likes. She says it without arrogance: "100,000 followers are nice, but they do not replace good songs."

Private: Clear Boundaries

In matters of love she is reserved. No macho, no overly sentimental romantic, rather humor and independence. A small wish: he should be taller than her — Chanelle is 1.78 m tall and says it with a wink. Relationships were short, often accompanied by media hype. She now prefers to go out: Germany, Nashville, Caribbean — as long as there is sun and work.

Professionally things are going well: there are still TV engagements, but music is the priority. Then came a tough personal path: about 25 kilos lost, strict dietary changes, yoga, later procedures, which she speaks about openly. "I regret nothing," she says. It’s about well-being and stage presence, not headlines.

What’s Next

Chanelle plans new singles and is working on a live set that she intends to take seriously. Mallorca remains important for the summer — the island is a stage, no doubt — but long-term she wants to return to Switzerland. Tax reasons? "Partly," she says dryly. Above all she wants to work there with focus and finish new songs. "By next year at the latest I want to take the next step," she says determinedly. It sounds brave, typical for someone who likes to get up and keep going.

Whether Ballermann, TV studio, or a small club concert in Palma: Chanelle seeks the challenge. And whoever meets her this summer on the coast might hear a new refrain before the rest of the country knows it.
