What happens when you take a California based singer-songwriter and trap him in a basement with a German indie-pop producer? One: They fall in love. Two: You get beach – a sparkling pop band, a brilliant blend of buoyant, breezy beats and bold bass. It’s comprised of San Francisco born singer-songwriter, Asher Witkin, and Hannover native, Jonas Sercombe, with a little help from sunny sensation Graham Candy and brilliant Beatenberg’s Robin Brink.
Asher began his career in music performing with some of the biggest acts in the world. He’s sang with Coldplay, Daveed Diggs, Alexander Rybak, Woody Goss, and recorded vocals for Kehlani. Jonas is the lead singer for The Planetoids, a disco inspired pop band with regular performances all around the world. He has produced songs with and for a diverse range of artists in the past, and is one of the founders of Pubic Hair Records. Asher and Jonas met at Popakademie in Mannheim, Germany in 2021. They’ve been writing together ever since.
beach is what happens when you were just a little too young to live through the 80s, but aren’t quite satisfied with leaving those sonic years behind. It’s what happens when you take a singer-songwriter and give him a glittering, purple stratocaster. It’s what happens when you take one of the greatest young producers of this generation and pair him with a West Coast singer set on world domination.
Welcome to beach.
