“Broken Fears is a name born from contradiction: two words with negative connotations joined to create a positive, hope-giving meaning. It reflects my core purpose as an artist—to encourage people to confront themselves and explore their own truths. Through my music, I explore themes of alienation, longing, and transformation, creating a space where listeners can simply be, feel, and exist without judgment. I aim to be radical in both sound and expression, pushing boundaries and inviting emotional honesty, while fusing genres and art forms to craft experiences that are immersive, bold, and deeply human."
KASSANDRA is also a film composer, creating original soundtracks that add atmosphere and emotional depth to visual storytelling. Her work includes the score for The 3rd (2023), directed by Sheldon Armstrong, as well as the upcoming film Mezzanine (2025/2026), also directed by Sheldon Armstrong. Through her music, she explores texture, tension, and mood, shaping sound to support narrative and cinematic space. In addition to her work in music and film, Kassandra is also a painter, using visual art as another medium to express ideas, emotion, and abstraction. Both sound and image are central to her creative practice, and she often moves between these mediums to explore different forms of artistic expression.
KASSANDRA is a Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist working at the daring intersection of music, film, visual arts, and performance. Under her solo project BROKEN FEARS, she crafts her own songs, blending soul, jazz, gospel, and blues with art-pop and experimental electronics into a sound that is both haunting and electrifying.
Before launching her solo work, KASSANDRA performed as a singer in several jazz and rock bands and was also part of a small choir, experiences that helped shape her expressive vocal style and deep musical sensibility. Though still emerging, she commands the stage with a presence that captivates from the very first note, leaving audiences spellbound. Her debut album, LIGHT BIRD, is currently in the works and will feature a live orchestra, promising a sweeping, genre-defying experience that showcases her singular artistic vision and immersive performance style.
