herbst is a German singer-songwriter whose music combines intimate storytelling with raw vocals, piano, guitar and dramatic orchestral and electronic elements. Classically trained in piano and influenced by composers such as Debussy and Chopin, he creates deeply personal songs that balance vulnerability with powerful musical climaxes. Writing all his songs himself, herbst explores love, longing and the complexities of human connection through honest, unfiltered lyrics and a distinctive sense of musical drama.
His breakthrough came in 2024, when his debut single “gasleuchte” gained viral attention on social media and topped the German Spotify Viral Charts. Since then, he has built a devoted fanbase while remaining independent, releasing his debut album “wieder verliebt” and continuing to develop his artistic identity. On stage, herbst brings his songs to life with a live band featuring drums, electric guitar and cello, creating dynamic performances that move between quiet intimacy and sweeping, emotionally charged finales. With his upcoming second album, “bitte lieb mich”, he continues to explore the many facets of love and vulnerability, further expanding his distinctive musical world.
