The new Single "Leuchten"
"If the light is missing in your life, start shining yourself. Be the helper you need instead of waiting for heroes. You should shine..." The idiosyncratic lyricist and singer jan SEVEN dettwyler has proven time and again that he writes the best lyrics in his darkest hours. His first songs would not have been written in 2002 if he had not sought solace in a pen to deal with a break-up. "Lisa" was written during a crisis, "City Of Gold" when his best friend died and "I don`t give up" when his son had health problems. With the very personal song LEUCHTEN, he is now once again using music to draw himself back into the light. Getting up and shining himself to attract the beauty in life again is the wonderful essence of this self-therapy.
Leuchten will be released on 23.5.2024. The album "Schwarz auf Grün" will be released on 13.09.02024 to coincide with the start of the tour in Zurich.
His stage name was always a good match for the Swiss musician who has just turned 45
His stage name was always a good fit for the Swiss musician who had just turned 45. At 22, Jan Dettwyler called himself "SEVEN" because seven was both his favorite number and his favorite Prince song. With an English name and lyrics, the actually introverted young man from Aargau created enough distance to be able to pour his heart out with his music. "I never used to talk about private matters, I never did a home story and my artist name, which is a number, i.e. an object, was like a protective armor for topics that I might otherwise have been ashamed of. Over time, I've become more relaxed, gained experience and self-confidence and slowly but surely another part of me is taking up more space."
Passion is his trademark, unbridled curiosity his perpetual mobile
His musical journey began in 2002 with his debut "Dedicated to ..." and has taken him closer and closer to himself over the course of a 21-year global career with 13 studio albums and four live albums, countless collaborations, international awards, regular TV appearances and more than 1000 headlining shows. With German lyrics, a new album and five "Sing meinen Song" seasons as guest and host under his belt, the Swiss 'Soultrain' is picking up speed again as jan SEVEN dettwyler.
