Bastian Baker: Voice of friendship between China and Switzerland

His first single Lucky, launched by the record producer Richard Meyer, appeared in March 2011 and instantly took over the radio waves.

“The happy tune is all about love between young people, and it means much to me. Isn’t it one of the best things to turn your life experience into a beautiful melody?” the 26-year-old said.

So far, Bastian Baker has been rewarded with two platinum albums, seven Swiss Music Awards, one MTV EMA Music Award and one World Music Award.

“When I write songs, I am not only recording the best moments in my life, but sharing my emotions with others, and that’s the great part of being a musician,” he said. “When writing lyrics, inspiration pours from the everyday, tapping into both my personal life and the human condition with spontaneity and intuitive creativity.”

Through his third album Facing Canyons, released in 2015, Bastian Baker hoped to convey the message mankind is small in the grand scheme of things.

The three albums Baker has created so far combine a mixture of pop, rock and folk music styles. “The world changes with each passing day -- so does my music,” he said. “And I truly hope my fans will know me better through my work.”
