"I believe a good song is poetry to music"

Joseph Rix is a singer/songwriter and poet based out of Luzern, Switzerland. Inspired by artists Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and FleetwoodMac, Joseph has developed an emotive and haunting approach to songwriting; creating stories in melody and lyrics that catch upon what it means to feel and ultimately be human.
