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.
Shining young singer, THE upcoming voice in German jazz. (Mannheimer Morgen)
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.
