At the bustling Nexus Lounge during the ADE 24 edition, we sat down with the charismatic Avaion for an interview that encapsulated his career and his deep connection with music. Avaion, a southern German native who began playing piano at the tender age of six, has always held a profound link to music, using it as an escape and a means of expression.
The conversation started with Avaion sharing his excitement for playing at a boat party in Amsterdam—a city where music and culture collide beautifully during ADE. “It’s like the escape from reality,” Avaion described music, echoing the magic he finds in transforming his life experiences into melodies that resonate with listeners globally.
Delving into his creative process, Avaion spoke candidly about the essence behind his song ‘Drown.’ As the singer and producer, he translated personal experiences into this track, leaving the interpretation open: “It’s always like trying to convert real-life situations into music,” he explained. This openness allows fans to create their own narrative, whether it be about love, family, or friendship.
Reflecting on his early days, Avaion narrated his transition from Soundcloud uploads to major label recognition, beginning with his track “Fucked Up.” His journey spiraled onwards with “Pieces,” a track that Avaion credits with changing his life: “Pieces changed my life. I am beyond thankful for all the support I got over the years,” he shared, brimming with gratitude.
For Avaion, music has always been an instinct-driven process. His advice to budding artists centers around trusting one's instincts over rigid theory: "I want music to be like magical," he insisted, encouraging others to follow their authentic sound.
As the discussion turned towards his touring experiences, Avaion painted a vivid picture of the chaos and camaraderie of life on the road, recalling with humor the time his team ended up in the wrong city—yet still made it to the show on time. His dedication and passion for music are unwavering, further illustrated by his plans for a global tour next year.
