Bastian Baker, born in Lausanne on 20 May 1991, is an example of the rich and diverse Swiss music scene. Songwriter, composer and performer, he has a strong inclination for “songs you can play around a fire with your friends on a summer’s evening”. Like Justin Nozuka or Jack Johnson, he excels in catchy pop-folk ballads with stirring refrains that carry us into his own world, where the carefree and the serious live side by side.
His heart-felt and hard-hitting melodies and texts reveal a heightened sensitivity.

[Verse] CAm (Asus2) Eleven dollars, I can afford this, EmG I gave a good tip, like I'd promised. CAm (Asus2) Elevator elevates us to the highest floor, EmG In as second we'll be knocking on the club's front door. CAm (Asus2) I think back to my life and I beg. EmG Give me more! Give me more! Give me more!
