Loveboy and His Imaginary Friends is a Swiss mixed-reality band by artist Nicolaj Ésteban. The project blends live music, animated avatars, and immersive visuals into a playful and emotional performance. Combining Art-Pop, Hyperpop, and electronic elements with storytelling and 3D animation, Loveboy transforms concerts into a hybrid between gig, theatre, and animated film. Rooted in themes of mental health, imagination, and self-discovery, the project uses gaming and mapping technologies to bring Ésteban’s subconscious world and its surreal characters—such as a flying dolphin—onto stage.
