As a teenager, AVAION had a dream – a dream of a gold record that, in his mind, he had already assigned its very own spot on the wall of his children’s room. Twelve years later, this wish came true when he was honored with the platinum award for his debut single “Pieces”, which has been streamed millions of times and heralded the German songwriter and multi-instrumentalist’s breakthrough as one of the most exciting and promising young stars of the international electronic music scene at the end of 2019.
AVAION began DJing in local clubs in southern Germany. His setlist also included his first self-composed tracks, which he posted simultaneously on Soundcloud. Eclectic and experimental in equal measure, these tracks were a mix of drum & bass, dubstep, ambient and electronica, and these influences can still be heard in his distinctive signature sound. AVAION doesn’t want to be tied to a single genre; instead, he combines electronic beats with organic elements, melancholic harmonies and soulful vocals to form an instantly recognizable mix that has helped him establish a global fan base in a very short period of time.
AVAION set a first milestone in 2019 with his celebrated debut single “Pieces”, released by Sony Music. “The song was written during a difficult and depressing period in my life,” says AVAION as he reflects on his big breakthrough hit. “I was very unhappy at the time, and every day I would sit with my eyes glued to my computer screen after my late shift, trying to come up with new tracks. I was desperate to find a way out of this situation. ‘Pieces’ is about those times when you literally fall into a thousand pieces...” – and it is a track that was to fundamentally change AVAION’s life: The various versions of “Pieces” now have a combined total of over 100 million streams, more than 63 million of which are on Spotify alone. AVAION delights and inspires more than 2.7 million Spotify listeners every month – and this number is rising quickly! The multiaward-winning track entered the Spotify Top 100 in South Africa as well as the Mexico and Italy Viral 50. It also reached 30th place in the Italian Billboard Dance Charts, 76th in the German singles chart and 70th in the German airplay chart. With more than 500 million total views on TikTok, IG Reels and YouTube and entries in the Top 50 in nine countries on Apple Music, “Pieces” has become an important pillar of AVAION’s creativity and artistic identity. It also boasts an incredible level of popularity, which received a further boost from the remake that was released at the end of 2021 with VIZE and Leony as featured guests.
AVAION can be seen live at numerous festivals over the course of this year.
