Haller is indie. Haller is pop.
Haller is zeitgeist and timeless at the same time.
Born in Aachen, he has been making music for as long as he can remember. His love for Prince was probably passed on to him by his parents, just like his first guitar. In what are now two EPs, his
indie hit "Schön Genug" and his debut album "Kuss", Haller reflects precisely and sensitively like
the questions of Generation Y like no other. He plays with language as if it were a Rubik's cube that
that only needs to be solved. No matter how difficult and overwhelming the topics may seem, Haller manages to present them with the

But Haller is no stranger to his solo career either. As a songwriter and
producer, he can look back on numerous gold and platinum awards. Whether radio hits such as "Wenn sie

Antje Schomaker, Lotte, Joris, Wilhelmine and many more.

eponymous title "The Young Man" sums it up perfectly. Haller looks at himself
and thus somehow on society as a whole - sometimes fully in tune with the times, then again completely
overwhelmed, sometimes self-ironic, and then again caught up in his own doubts, somehow angry,
yet calm and deeply moved.
Music can be many things, but please never boring - Haller remains true to this maxim with his new album
