A Swiss singer-songwriter whose music finds meaning in everyday details and quiet moments.
For a good sense of his style, try 'Earrings On A Table' or '79 Clinton Street.' They're both quiet, detailed songs that don't try to be anything more than what they are.
Baker's songs work because they're built on specific, tangible images. 'Colorful Hospital' isn't about grand drama; it's a song built around the quiet, surreal details of a waiting room. That focus on the small stuff gives his music a grounded, lived-in feel that's easy to connect with.
He started with piano lessons at five and released his first album, 'Tomorrow May Not Be Better,' in 2011. The albums kept coming, from 'Too Old to Die Young' in 2014 to 'Dirty Thirty' in 2021, each one adding to a catalog of straightforward, observational songwriting.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
