TIMON LUMIÈRE

SINGER - SONGWRITER

Biography

Growing up in the highs and lows of the Swiss Alps, music and lyricism have always been Timon Lumière's guiding light.

Raised by pop divas and eurovision, his musical palette is shaped by artists such as Joni Mitchell, Lana Del Rey, Rufus Wainwright, Sam Smith, Hozier, Lisa Hannigan & Lady Gaga.

You cannot not tell a story. Lumière writes out of necessity, trying to make sense of the sensory overload that is life. Fascinated by chasms of the human mind he sings about mental health, feminism, love, self-discovery, queerness & salty condiments, all while being on a mission to initiate a renaissance of a more naturalistic simplistic and "real" approach to music. What is real anyway?

HEAVEN (2024)

Timon Lumière's debut EP Heaven is an introspective travelogue, describing a journey that begins in a desolate, gloomy cavern and slowly ascends along a path leading into the light.

With melancholic campiness the singer-songwriter offers insight into states of hopelessness and depression (Delirium), the experience of being queer in a Swiss mountain village (Pearl in the Oyster Sauce), the sensationalism of women's suffering (Medusa (蛇)) and how to initiate change within oneself and others (Heaven).

All songs were recorded live in Berlin and are allowed to shine through their simplistic, acoustic arrangements. Lumière is accompanied only by himself on the piano or by Fede Paoles on the guitar.
