Jules Ahoi

In the artist's words:

Julian Braun, alias Jules Ahoi, has never shied away from breaking new ground. But in 2024, the 35-year-old musician is finding his way back to his creative roots and a new artistic self-confidence.

This fall, the Cologne native will be playing his new album "MAGNOLIA (The Bauhaus Tapes)" alongside his hits such as "Robinson Crusoe" and "Denmark" in particular.
The basis for his new work was - as the title suggests - an artist residency at the Bauhaus World Heritage Site, the renowned design school in Dessau. The album, which was released in September, is not just purely musical in nature, but the result of an intensive exploration of music, poetry, design and the visual arts.
