Benjamin Amaru

Since Benjamin Amaru released his first single “Water Falls” in 2018, things haven’t been quiet for the busy musician from Appenzell. Last year alone, in addition to his impressive repertoire of countless singles, he released three EPs, bringing his total to eleven. Amaru’s music is extremely varied and defies categorisation, moving between lo-fi and indie pop, contemporary R&B and soul sounds as well as hip-hop influences. It is important for him to see his artistic path as an evolution rather than a fixation on his own musical style. An attitude that has led him to success: With up to 800,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, Amaru is one of the most successful Swiss musicians on streaming platforms. Catchy beats, ranging from low-tempo to danceable, topped off with this distinctive, soulful voice with a relaxed falsetto that goes straight to the heart: goose bumps at a live performance are guaranteed.
