Niklas Paschburg

Niklas Paschburg is a composer, pianist and producer from Hamburg, Germany. As music has always been an integral part of his family, he began studying piano while in primary school. Niklas' grandfather, who was a captain on a container ship, traveled the world with a Hohner accordion that would ultimately be passed down to Niklas and used on recordings and concerts.

As a teenager, Niklas became passionate about electronic music and hip hop. He became intrigued by the possibility of merging his roots on the piano & accordion with his newly developed production skills on the computer. He started composing his first songs and thus began his journey through a sound hybrid that brings together the piano world of classical music (Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, Satie, Debussy...) with a modern approach to musical production. With his first synthesizer purchase of an old Korg MS2000, Niklas dived deep into the world of electronic instruments amassing a formidable collection (Tom Oberheim, Moog, Dave Smith...). Finding his own voice on synthesizers grew parallel to developing his compositional style on the piano and accordion.
