guitarist. bass player.
songwriter. 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.

My year 2017 ended with two inspiring sessions: the funk jam initiated by Cosmo Klein and joined by my dear colleagues Alex Grube, Benny Greb and Julius Trautvetter and mixing sessions with the great Swen Meyer for my upcoming album. Yes, you heard right – there is something beautiful and

It is quite a risky thing to basically put seven people in a room with one song and see what version they come up with together. At least, if you do this live on camera and there is limited time and no backup plan, no safety but to trust in
