Jonatan Echo Indie-Pop

Hope dies last. This sentence could be Jonatan Echo's credo. There is a palpable melancholy in his songs, but it is always interspersed with positive and hopeful moments. He draws his inspiration from the most diverse sources - be it a pithy sentence that someone has said or a memory that won't let go and wants to be held on to. The musical roots of his work in the Britpop of the late 90s and early 2000s are unmistakable.
Music has accompanied Jonatan Echo since his childhood. His father, a singer-songwriter himself, taught him his first three guitar chords so that he could play ‘Love me do’ by the Beatles. As a teenager, he later formed a rock band with friends. His last band project was the indie rock band Valium21, with whom he experienced the highs and lows of a music career for 14 years.
Jonatan Echo was already singing in Swiss German back then and continued to do so when he launched his solo project after the band broke up. ‘I absolutely understand that words in a language like Italian, for example, sound more melodic when you sing them. But Swiss German can also sound good and is closest to what I experience and want to express. That's also what my songs are about.’ They are songs that we can recognise ourselves in, that get under our skin and lodge themselves in our hearts.
In 2017, Jonatan Echo released his solo debut ‘Drache stiege la’ with eleven reduced tracks, limited to acoustic guitar and vocals. With these songs in his luggage, the singer-songwriter toured small clubs across the country for three years. Further songs were written during the pandemic, which Jonatan Echo will be releasing in stages from autumn 2024.
