guitar(t)ist. producer. composer. md.
earthling.
Born and raised in Berlin, Lars Cölln grew up with a variety of multicultural influences.
He started out on the drums at the age of 8 and switched to guitar at 13, keeping rhythm as his main approach and Stewart Copeland’s hihat in his heart.
Fluent in many musical languages, he is revealing an individual accent while always listening to what a song might need. (In fact, listening might be one of his key skills). Lars is said to have meditated the sentence “Funk is what you don’t play” (Fred Wesley) for two years in the mountains.
He is a highly demanded studio guitarist and bassist as well as an internationally touring sideman, yet a humble player with abundant love for music.

The summer ended with a very colourful range of gigs. I enjoyed switching between playing huge crowds of up to 80.000 (yeah, thats five digits...wow!) with Revolverheld where I sat in for Niels and great Jazz Venues like the Atrane Summer Week in Berlin with Stephanie Lottermoser. Then there were

This year, I'm lucky to be creative a lot. We are writing and producing the upcoming Malia record together with Nis Kötting (and - obviously - Malia :) - a BLUES record. How great is that then? We're almost done writing it and look forward to catching it on tape
