Zibbz was founded in 2008 by siblings Corinne "Coco" Gfeller (vocals) and Stefan "Stee" Gfeller (drums, keyboard). The name "zibbz" is a modification of the English word "siblings".
Since 2011, Coco and Stee have split their time between Switzerland and Los Angeles. Between 2011 and 2015, the band had their own weekly reality show about their lives in Los Angeles and the road to success in the music industry on the Swiss television channel Joiz.[1] Their first studio album Ready? Go! was released in 2013 and peaked at number-14 on the official Swiss album charts.[2] In 2017, their second studio album It Takes A Village, which was self-produced, peaked at number-11 on the official Swiss album charts.[3] They have created songs used in commercials for Ragusa and Subaru, and wrote the official theme song for the 2012 Men's World Floorball Championships in Zürich.[4][5]
In February 2018, Zibbz was chosen to represent Switzerland with their song "Stones" at the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 in Lisbon, however, they failed to advance from the first semi-final, finishing in 13th place.[6][7][8][9]
