I am a Swiss singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. My style is Americana — my songs always touch upon real-life situations. Stylistically, I traverse a diverse range of genres including pop, rock, blues, and country.

I recorded my debut album ‘1966’ in collaboration with producer Cyrill Camenzind at the Powerplay Studios.

Many of my songs were born during several-month break with my family in 2017/18. Living in a camper amidst the vastness of Australia instilled in me an enduring and grounding sense, which continues to influence my songwriting.

Music has been a constant thread throughout my life, from a young age singing and performing on amateur stages, taking violin lessons, and later piano lessons. However, like many teenagers, I found adhering to sheet music limiting. I craved improvisation and shaping the music myself!

This led to years of success as a boogie-woogie pianist, both in duos and as a soloist in my twenties. I even spent several years as a professional dancer in an international context. Finally, I discovered the guitar and the art of singer-songwriting.

Born as Beat Bill in 1966, I grew up in Thalwil, on the shores of Lake Zurich. I have a degree in law and eduction. I am a father of two teenage boys and work as a general education teacher at a vocational school. Since 2023, doxie girl Indie has been part of our life in Uster.
