AARON WÄLCHLI
Artist, musician, songwriter and composer
For Aaron Wälchli, who was born in Switzerland, one thing is clear: his passion, his being and his personal expression is music. The qualified fitness trainer and coach came into contact with music at a young age. This was always accompanied by the feeling that still flows through him today when he plays music and this goes far beyond music: it is a feeling of pure presence, freedom and lightness.
After almost ten years of complete abstinence from music, Aaron experienced his musical breakthrough as a solo artist in the years 2020 to 2023: with over 140 performances, he celebrated a brilliant stage debut with an exceptionally versatile repertoire of cross-genre music: from classical, 70s/80s songs to country and pop.
In 2022 and 2023, he also released his debut albums PUR (Session 1) and PUR (Session 2), for which he wrote and composed the songs "Home", "Liecht", "Just Like You" and "True", among others. Typical for his arrangements are guitar and marimba accompaniment, which resonate wonderfully with his voice. Cover versions such as "Something" (The Beatles, 1969), "Ring of Fire" (June Carter & Merle Kilgore, 1963) or "Sound of Silence" (Simon & Garfunkel, 1964) make up a large part of his successes. With his personal interpretations and his presence, he succeeds in connecting with his role models in the music industry, be it Joe Cocker, Ray Charles, Johnny Cash or Tina Turner.
In spring 2023, together with Regina Leitner, he wrote a musical program of the finest quality: "What the World Needs Now. Love". The music and poetry touch on love on the surface and in depth. The selected compositions by Aaron in combination with the duo's theatrical interludes move, touch and open the heart to all that love has in store. A wild, entertaining, but no less profound ride through all facets of love. It includes the songs "Und du so?", composed by Aaron himself, and the arrangements "A Million Dreams" and "Up Where We Belong" (album: This is your Song, 2023).
The response to Aaron's concerts is just as varied as his program. In part, it reveals different assessments of his music: influences of folk music and country can be filtered out. If you ask the artist himself about his genre, you get the following answer: "Yes, there's a bit of pop music, a bit of country, a bit of singer-songwriter... You won't find a niche with me. Just as little as a label." The solo artist's music radiates above all through his intimate, pure and beautiful voice. Pure. Authentic and full of love.
In addition to many solo performances, Aaron Wälchli realized a new project in 2024. With his concert program "Aaron Wälchli & Friends", he was accompanied not only by a top-class live band, but also by a specially founded choir. The stage show was a resounding success in three countries (Switzerland, Germany and France).
