Biography
Jonatan Echo - Indie pop for hibernators with spring fever.
Being on the road. Watching buildings, Knowledge and dreams being torn down and raise again. Losing confidence and finding it again. Life is constantly changing, nothing stays the same. And you are right in the center of it. What are you going to do? Make the darkness your friend. Look into the morning sun. Capture moments and let your thoughts wander. Fly a kite. With his solo debut "Drache stiege la", the former frontman of the Zurich band Valium21 as "Jonatan Echo" invited the audience on a journey through a world of emotions that ranged from the freezing cold winter to the warm summer breeze. Eleven songs with guitar and vocals were written in a blue attic room at the end of 2015. "I wanted to write more acoustic-oriented songs again and then see where it goes.
Since 2016, Jonatan Echo is performing annually in living rooms, small bars and clubs in the greater Zurich area, in Winterthur, Basel, Bern, Lucerne, Schaffhausen or simply wherever people want to escape everyday life for a while. The songs tell stories about togetherness and everything in between and draw everyone into the moments that make up life.. With a hopeful voice, rousing guitar and strong winter pop full of spring fever, Sturm & Drang and a pinch of sunshine. What more do you need? Exactly.
Between the gigs new songs are regularly released on which piano and other sounds or entire arrangements are used in addition to guitars, such as in "La los", "Norde" or "Davis & Lee". The singer-songwriter is currently working with a studio on a new single, which is due to be released in 2024. But that's still a secret😊.
