Moritz Schlanke is a Swiss singer and songwriter. His first radio hit, Good Girl, was created in his bedroom and discovered in 2008 at the Demotapeclinic songwriting competition during the M4Music Festival. Shortly after, Good Girl became a summer hit, receiving heavy airplay on the biggest Swiss radio stations.
Several songs from his debut album Piece Of Gold (2011) were also added to radio playlists. This led to numerous well-attended concerts across Switzerland for him and his band at the time. Moritz shared the stage with Swiss stars like Pegasus, 77 Bombay Street, Stefanie Heinzmann, and Marc Sway at renowned festivals.
In 2013, he was honored with a gold record for his contribution to the compilation album Schweizer Holz - Das isch Musig, which sold over 15,000 copies. During this time, he also launched a duo project with guitarist Marcel Jeker, who produced Schlanke’s albums and co-wrote songs with him. The duo toured across Switzerland, armed with just a cajón, a guitar, and their voices, and they continue to perform together to this day.
His second studio album Sunset Tales (2016) reached the Top 100 of the Swiss album charts, with all 14 tracks receiving radio airplay. Since 2017, Moritz Schlanke has also performed as the lead singer of The Royal Rhythms, an authentic swing and jazz band. In addition to his own music, he has made a name for himself in the scene through studio work for other artists, as well as organizing or booking various music events. Now, Moritz Schlanke is releasing new music once again.
