What personal experiences or stories inspired you to write “Move On”?
I actually wrote this song 10 years ago. I really liked the chords and didn’t think much of it at the time. The lyrics were written in a gradual process, however the title has always been the same. This song is an uplifting and hopeful anthem about leaving the past behind and looking ahead.
It starts with feelings of struggle and sadness, but as it goes on, the message becomes clear—it’s time to let go and move forward. The chorus is a strong reminder that the past doesn’t define you, and better days are ahead. With a dreamy, energetic sound, it’s the perfect song for anyone ready for a fresh start.
Can you walk us through your creative process while developing this single? How did the song evolve from its initial concept to the final version?
Like many of my songs, I start with just sitting by my piano and my fingers start to play. Whatever emotions I am feeling at that moment are transcribed into the sound you hear. From there I add and produce all the surrounding elements. Record more instruments and vocals. In the end I mix and master it to the best of my ability.
Musical Style and Evolution: How does “Move On” reflect your musical evolution? Are there new elements or styles you’ve incorporated that differ from your previous work?
When playing the song for friends, they hear similarities to bands like Owl City, Passion Pit and Parade of Lights. Looking back, I certainly see those connections. The song has a very atmospheric poppy vibe to it, which is exactly what I wanted to achieve. I’ve experimented with a lot of different styles in the past.
From EDM, Techno, to Punk-Rock and Folk. I find however this style fits my persona well at the moment and I will be producing even more blends of different genres in the future.
Did you collaborate with other artists, producers, or songwriters on “Move On”? If so, how did these collaborations influence the final outcome?
Nope, just me myself and I.
What were the biggest challenges you encountered during the production of “Move On,” and how did you overcome them?
The vocals have always been a difficult part for me. Since I record at home, my resources are limited. However I plan to record the next songs in a professional studio, so you can look forward to cleaner vocals 🙂
What message or emotions do you hope listeners take away from “Move On”?
As I said before, it’s a reminder that the past doesn’t define you, and better days are ahead. Whatever struggles you are going through, there will always be tomorrow and a new horizon with endless possibilities to reach out and grab.
Are there any music videos or visual projects accompanying the release? How do they complement the song’s theme?
I’ve opted for a variation of short clips to promote this song. Many are shot outside in front of a typical Swiss landscape and forest. Nature symbolises growth and life, which is also what I’m trying to preach in this song.
How has the initial response been from your audience and critics? Has any feedback surprised you?
In the past I’ve played this song live on numerous occasions and I always got great responses from it. Online I’ve gotten many positive reviews and also a radio play on a nation wide station, for which I was super excited for.
Does “Move On” hint at the direction of your upcoming projects or an album? What can fans expect next from you?
I actually am currently working on my very first studio album. This song will be remastered and also featured on the album so stay tuned! I’m also working on some side projects and visualisations for other singles. One might be dropping sooner than you think!
