Dænu

Dænu grew up in Bern, Switzerland, and thanks to a mother from Jura and father from Thun, regions of the country with distinct dialects, grew up billingually. He was only moderately enthused by piano lessons. However, at 11-years old, Dænu heard the band Rumpelstilz with their song “Muschle”, and he, grandson of yodeler, knew: I want to make music. A few years later he was standing before the microphone in a rehearsal room and singing; badly at first, but with much enthusiasm.
 
Since that day, much water has flown under the bridge, and Dænu has been active as singer & songwriter in a variety of projects and across diverse musical genres. For his own compositions, he is inspired by amongst others Polo Hofer, Florian Ast, Ritschi and Sandee. The texts of his songs are based on true stories and events, which Dænu works through almost like entries in a diary.
 
Dænu was born in Bern, though he has lived for many years in the canton of Aargau. He is married and has three grown children.
