As a teenager, AVAION had a dream – a dream of a gold record that, in his mind, he had already assigned its very own spot on the wall of his children’s room. Twelve years later, this wish came true when he was honored with the platinum award for his debut single “Pieces”, which has been streamed millions of times and heralded the German songwriter and multi-instrumentalist’s breakthrough as one of the most exciting and promising young stars of the international electronic music scene at the end of 2019. For the meanwhile 27-year-old, this is just the beginning of his journey – as he makes clear to us below! “Pieces” most recently scored certified gold status in Germany, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, Austria, Platinum in Switzerland and double Platinum in South Africa.AVAION has borne his mysterious name ever since the early days of his childhood, back when the then 4-year-old boy was beginning to create his own musical world. Both his grandfather and his father were musicians, encouraging the youngster to try out a wide variety of instruments from an early age: Keyboard lessons at 4, then the piano at 5, as well as the church organ, singing in the children’s and youth choir and playing the guitar. He later discovered electronic music for himself – a formative moment for the then 13-year-old. “For as long as I can remember, I have been particularly fascinated by electronic sounds,” says AVAION, looking back. Soon he realized that he didn’t want to make music for himself – he wanted to make
his audience dance, too.
AVAION began DJing in local clubs in southern Germany. His setlist also included his first self-composed tracks, which he posted simultaneously on Soundcloud. Eclectic and experimental in equal measure, these tracks were a mix of drum & bass, dubstep, ambient and electronica, and these influences can still be heard in his distinctive signature sound. AVAION doesn’t want to be tied to a single genre; instead, he combines electronic beats with organic elements, melancholic harmonies and soulful vocals to form an instantly recognizable mix that has helped him establish a global fan base in a very short period of time.
“Pieces”has been created during a difficult and depressing period in my life,” says AVAION as he reflects on his big breakthrough hit. “I was very unhappy at the time, and every day I would sit with my eyes glued to my computer screen after my late shift, trying to come up with new tracks. I was desperate to find a way out of this situation. ‘Pieces’ is about those times when you literally fall into a thousand pieces...” – and it is a track that was to fundamentally change AVAION’s life: The various versions of “Pieces” now have a
combined total of over 250 million streams,. AVAION delights and inspires up to 5 million Spotify monthly listeners and 135 K followers.
AVAION built his very own world of sound, which he regularly invites his fans to be a part of with celebrated hit singles like “Sleepless” (in colaboration with Nu Aspect, Paul Wetz and Yuma), “Numb” (together with Goodboys) “Broken”, “Hope”, “I Don’t Know Why”, “Love again” ” or most recently “Other Side” (together with BUNT.)
AVAION’s tracks go down just as well in sweat-soaked nightclubs as they do in front of 100,000 enthusiastic festival-attendees.
AVAION expands his distinctive mix of electronic, danceable beats and atmospheric, melancholic sounds even further. Music for dancing and for dreaming, depending on how you’re feeling, is how AVAION describes his style in his own words. “Music has always been my most important outlet,” says AVAION regarding his new track. “I can process things from my emotional space that I can’t get out of my head. I hope that my experiences will also give my fans the courage to speak up about their own problems and face them head on.”
Beside the steady creation of new songs AVAION’s other passion is to get in direct touch with his fans . In 2023 he joined many of the famous festivals like “Sonne Mond & Sterne”, “Parookaville” and “Glücksgefühle” and European top-clubs like the legendary “Bootshaus” in Cologne.
In 2024 AVAION shall open 2 new and very exiting doors, first he release of his debut album “Selfreflexion” bearing a great number of new songs partly showing new shades of his wide sound- and song- cosmos.
And next step is to bring his “For the Vibes” live-concept (famous on You Tube and his social media channels) to his fans throughout some selected venues across Europe.
