Erik Leuthäuser

Erik Leuthäuser is an award-winning young German singer/songwriter/arranger based in Berlin, using his native language and electronics to create his own concept of music somewhere between modern jazz and experimental pop.

Leuthäuser cap­ti­vates the audi­ence with his adorable, youth­ful vel­vet voice. (Jaz­zthing) 

His voice is beau­ti­ful and free, he is young and ded­i­cat­ed, hon­est and full of music. (Sabine Kühlich/Jazz singer)

Based on his expe­ri­ences as a young singer in a big city such as Berlin, the only way to be is hon­est and ded­i­cat­ed: In life and in music. On the oth­er hand, he also hon­ours jazz tra­di­tion by div­ing into less­er known jazz standards.

In May 2018, he released his 2nd stu­dio record “Wün­schen” on the pres­ti­gious record label MPS. Pro­duced by Amer­i­can bass play­er Greg Cohen fea­tur­ing Kurt Rosen­winkel (gui­tar) and Joey Baron (drums). He won sev­er­al inter­na­tion­al jazz prizes e.g. 1st prize of the Ella Fitzger­ald Vocal Jazz Com­pe­ti­tion 2018.

Fur­ther­more he sang back­ground for Quin­cy Jones, George Ben­son, Dee Dee Bridge­wa­ter and Jacob Col­lier. He record­ed albums with jazz leg­ends such as Alan Broad­bent and Ken Peplows­ki.
