Whether in New York, London, Hamburg, or Amsterdam: Jules Atlas needs nothing more than his voice and a guitar to captivate the audience with his touching songs. At the age of 18, the Hamburg native ventured to London, where, over the years, he made a name for himself in the city's bars and clubs with numerous performances. With folk-typical guitar playing, catchy melodies, and narrative lyrics, he evokes a spark of Gaslight-Café nostalgia. Authentic and unfiltered, melancholic and exhilarating: Jules Atlas sings folk songs in a pop guise.
Through European tours with artists like Rhys Lewis and Axel Flovent, as well as numerous headline shows, Jules Atlas gained extensive live experience and built a considerable fanbase. After many years with London as his home base, he now returns to Germany with a matured repertoire and ample stage experience.
On December 1, 2023, the Hamburg singer-songwriter releases his debut album, "Postcards From Sophia." After four successful singles and initial media attention (Bayern 3, NDR, Fest & Flauschig, etc.), Jules Atlas stays true to himself and echoes the years in London and New York. He is characteristically personal in his songs, narrating a long-distance relationship, the search for oneself, and the anticipation of each other. In a total of eleven acoustic ballads and captivating uptempo songs, he paints a multifaceted picture of what it feels like to be in one's mid-twenties, searching for connection and meaning—sometimes happy, sometimes yearning, sometimes aimless.
The album was produced by Swen Meyer (Tim Bendzko, Lena, Jochen Diestelmeyer) and Vincent van der Klugt (Jochen Diestelmeyer).
