Biography

Early years

Büchele (*23 February 1991) is a German singer-songwriter, living in the Southern part of Germany. Inspired by James Blunt, he founded his band "Umleitung" and gained first stage experience on local level. Asked about his plans for his future after school, he would answer "making music, attending a high school for music, becoming a professional singer-songwriter".[2] To reach those aims, he took part in a German castingshow in 2009, reaching # 4 out of 32.000 participants.[3][4]

DSDS

Büchele got one of the 15 tickets for the live shows by performing a James Blunt-cover what caused an occasional comparison to Blunt.[5] During the live performances he grew as one of the favourites of this TV-show [6]

Büchele, Daniel Schuhmacher and Sarah Kreuz were not on speaking terms with the other candidate, Annemarie Eilfeld, when the Top 4 happened.[7]

2009 – 2012

Signing his first contract as a professional artist right after those TV-appearances, his dreams began to come true. In 2010, he published his first single "Closer to heaven" and album "Ready", and being on the road in Germany and Austria (2009/10), he gave over 50 gigs including being support act of the “Puhdys”.[4][8] In 2011, his second album "Again" including the single "Hazel Eyes" was released. This album debuts two of his selfwritten songs, "Salvation" and "For the last time".[4][9] Since then, he focusses on writing songs, performing live at chosen events [10][11][12][13][14] including charities [15][16][17] and attending a music college.[18]

Büchele has started a joint project with Sebastian Wurth.[19]


Since 2013

On stage, Büchele and his band "Umleitung" [20] performed playlists made up of self-composed songs, catching some media attention. [21][22]

In June 2014, Büchele released his demo album "Umleitung", autonomously composed and produced.[20] In November 2014, the first single release "Colours" was released as a download version.[23]
