79 Clinton Street

Biography:

Bastian Baker, born in Lausanne on 20 May 1991, is an example of the rich and diverse Swiss music scene. Songwriter, composer and performer, he has a strong inclination for “songs you can play around a fire with your friends on a summer’s evening”. Like Justin Nozuka or Jack Johnson, he excels in catchy pop-folk ballads with stirring refrains that carry us into his own world, where the carefree and the serious live side by side.

His heart-felt and hard-hitting melodies and texts reveal a heightened sensitivity.
