Vibrating basses and riveting vocals, scintillating electronic soundscapes and acoustic guitar riffs, reverberating beats & captivating melodies – multiple musical dimensions come together, creating VonLewald's sound: electronica, bass music and singer-songwriter-painted pop songs. 
 
VonLewald is singer, graphic designer and animator Nick, pianist and programmer John, and multi-instrumentalist Joseph. 
 
On stage the three adventurers from Berlin create a space for dancing and letting go. With their cinematic, wide-screen sound, and fragmented video installations, vonLewald's live shows become an audio-visual event.


“VonLewald makes beautifully arranged pop music, presented in a raw-honey-coated voice. Check it out!“
			                                                         Paul Frick (Brandt Brauer Frick)

“The compelling warmth of these bitter sweet songs slips seamlessly beneath the skin with the subtlety of a thin blade. The song closes as does the wound, and you are transported back home. Only the goosebumps remain.“ 				                                                							       	Joachim Dollhopf (Director of WAGs, I Don‘t Feel Like Dancing)

Vibrierende Bässe und eine Gänsehautstimme, flirrende elektronische Klangwelten und akustische Gitarrenläufe, rollende Beats und verzaubernde Melodien – eine Vielzahl musikalischer Linien kreuzen und verdichten sich bei VonLewald zu einem eigenen Stil. So entstehen eigen-artig wundervolle Pop-Songs im Spannungsfeld von Electronica, Bass Music und Singer/Songwriter.
VonLewald sind der Sänger und Animationsfilmer Nick, Pianist John und Multi-Instrumentalist Joseph.
Auf der Bühne erschaffen die drei Berliner Musiker einen Ort zum tanzen und sich verlieren. Durch einen beinahe cineastischer Breitwand-Sound, Licht-Projektionen, Video-Fetzen und installativen Raumgestaltungen werden ihre Live Shows audiovisuelle Happenings, die niemand so schnell vergisst.


“VonLewald macht toll arrangierte Popmusik, mit Gänsehautstimme vorgetragen. Anhören!“
 - Paul Frick (Brandt Brauer Frick)


“VonLewalds grundehrlichen, warmherzigen und bittersüßen Songs gleiten wie eine scharfe, dünne Klinge unter die Haut, ohne zu verletzen. Am Ende schließt sich die Wunde wieder und du bist zuhause angekommen. Die Gänsehaut beim Anhören ist geblieben.“ 				                                                							       			         - Joachim Dollhopf (Regisseur WAGs, I Don't Feel Like Dancing)
