let us entertain you ____________
For more than a decade, Schön! has brought together stars and creative teams the world over. Our driving force has always been discovering the talent behind all forms of entertainment – from cinema and music to TV, visual arts and photography – and we’ve scoured the globe for the best and most fascinating names that are shaping contemporary culture. Schön! comes to life through late-evening meetings, early-morning brainstorms and middle-of-the-night emails with bright ideas; working with fantastic teams of photographers, stylists, creatives and journalists, we’ve always been spurred on by the need to scout, nurture, reveal and celebrate talents. Our dose of fun has been in portraying them in ways they had never been seen before, translating their message and spreading the story behind their work. We believe in the arts as a motor behind change, just as actor and producer Theo Rossi tells us in the pages of this book: “The power of entertainment is that when it’s good it can shift your perspective. It can bring out every emotion we are capable of and, most of the time, joy.” Ever since Schön! launched, we’ve believed in the scope of diversity, and have always given the platform to those with a message; we feel our task in documenting and capturing the rich and varied voices there are out there in all the entertainment industries is fundamental. Our job has been that of giving a spotlight to each and every individual, specifically while keeping in synch with the changes our global society is undergoing. We take our responsibility in that very seriously, all the while dreaming and imagining a better future through the talents we celebrate. With this approach, we’ve spoken to icons who have graced the silver screen for decades, such as Kathy Bates or Juliette Lewis. Likewise, in the music industry, legendary names such as Ricky Martin or Ne-Yo, who both defined their genres for new generations, gave us the low-down on their careers. They lead us to the upcoming talents, the young stars, the fresh young actors and musicians that have graced our pages, each and every one defending a cause, a belief, their art in their own way. In this book, we bring you a selection of some of our favourite features, from print issues and our online pages. We hope these artists inspire you as much as they did us, and perhaps give you a splash of hope – or joy – for the future. Love, Raoul, Patrick + Huma

james norton ____________
With his matinee idol looks and proven acting ability, James Norton exudes a curious combination of star quality and down-to-earth likeability. From landing a leading role in War & Peace to charming spectators worldwide in Little Women, in which he stars opposite Emma Watson, James Norton is not your average Yorkshire-turned-South London boy.

Rosalía’s enigmatic voice and poised presence took the music world by storm. Her unique reinterpretation of Flamenco made global waves with her sophomore album, El Mal Querer.

saweetie ____________
Social media darling Saweetie has become one of the leading voices in West Coast rap. The multi-platinum artist grew a loyal fanbase by posting videos of herself rapping in her car on Instagram and broke into the mainstream with 2017’s viral track ICY GRL. Since then, she’s had a 2020 chart hit with single My Type and collaborated with iconic contemporaries like City Girls and Doja Cat.

tamino ____________
Singer-songwriter Tamino doesn’t want to impress you. He wants to move you. It follows that, even though Tamino’s voice has a remarkable range, you won’t hear him jumping octaves. This discretion makes the moments when Tamino revealed the full scope of his vocal talent in his debut album, Amir, such as his gorgeous falsetto in the chorus of his tracks Sun May Shine and the outro of album opener, Habibi, even more stunning.
