Benjamin Amaru

In the organizer's words:

Lost in thought, graceful, but also hopeful: Benjamin Amaru's songs build bridges between day and night, between shadow worlds and moments of happiness. He transforms what he sees, experiences and feels into music. The son of an Iranian mother and Swiss father, born in St. Gallen and raised in Appenzell, was named "Best Talent" by Radio SRF3 in March 2019. His life as a musician is "more of an adventure than a career", he says. The piano is a recurring theme throughout his songs. With the electronic "Son of the Desert", the danceable "Not High On Drugz" and the thoughtful songs "when i close my eyes" and "September Skies", among others, he has succeeded in creating catchy tunes that have also caught the attention of nearby countries; the last German tour was already completely sold out.
