Today we’d like to introduce you to Jonas Wolf.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
We met in 2021 in France, we were both volunteering for the same project. Even though it might sound cliché and cheesy (but it’s the honest truth haha!), the love and the music just kind of sparked at the exact same moment.—even if the duo LEBIOT itself didn’t officially come together until a bit later. But right from the very start, we shared a deeply powerful personal and musical connection.
That period in France really changed our lives. We were living in this beautiful place, Le Biot, surrounded by fields and mountains. The quiet, being in touch with nature, the changing colors and scents of the seasons… all of that had a huge influence on our music. It’s very harmonious because we want it to bring people peace, just like that place did for us.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Not at all…! It hasn’t been an easy road. In the beginning, we were just winging it, playing on the streets without really knowing what our artistic identity was. We’ve always really struggled with social media and marketing, too, because we felt like it was just draining us.
Our biggest issue in those early years was constantly trying to fit into too many different scenes. We wanted to reach everyone, and we forgot to focus on our own niche. Plus, right from the start, we only performed our own original songs with barely any covers along the way, and a lot of audiences just aren’t always open to hearing new stuff.
But all of that was just part of the process of finding our own space—lots of questions, reflection, and shifting directions. As the years went on, our awareness of the project changed, and so did we personally, which led us to ask ourselves what we really wanted to create that was truly OURS. One thing was always clear, though: we were never going to take the conventional route.
Now, we realize that intimate settings are where we feel most at home. They let us actually connect with the audience, making the concert a much more personal and interactive experience. We love taking time for people and really feeling that energetic connection with them.
Over the last few months, we’ve been working with an art and writing therapist in Italy. Together, we run workshops that blend live music, creative writing, painting, and wine tastings. It turns into this really rejuvenating experience for the body, mind, and spirit—a space for people to explore themselves and share a special moment.
Right now, we’re also collaborating with a yoga teacher in Germany, creating yoga sessions with live music. It’s amazing to watch people ground themselves in the present and completely calm their minds. And all of this is running in parallel with our regular concerts.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
We truly believe the world desperately needs to slow down, and that art—sharing what is beautiful, aesthetic, and harmonious—is meant to elevate the human spirit. That’s why we want to create a space where music isn’t just consumed. Instead, we want it to guide the listener and engage every part of them. First, the physical side: the sound is a physical vibration that helps ground the body. Then, the mind relaxes and just lets that vibration wash over it, leaving behind the daily rush and that ‘monkey mind’ feeling. The restlessness just fades away. And finally, the spirit is lifted, and people go home with new inner landscapes, emotions discovered or released, and a real sense of harmony.
When a concert or an experience ends, and someone gives us a smile, a hug, a tear of emotion, or just pure joy… that’s it for us. We’re good. We know we’ve done what we believe in, and that exchange of energy is the fuel that keeps us going and gives everything meaning
In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
We believe there’s a real shift happening in the music industry right now—away from generic, cookie-cutter music out of a box, and toward a deeper, more personal connection with artists. With all the people, as well as musicians we have talked to, all agreed upon being needing to see a shift in how we experience music. While there is still a huge demand for what you would call mainstream music, the shift of interest towards music, that has depth, emotions, poetry, experience and love is becoming more and more visible. As we have moved from big record companies holding pretty much all the power over artists, towards a democratization of music via the internet, we have now come to a point, where new big machines have established themselves and more musicians are becoming aware of another need for change. With streaming platforms and algorithms, through which mainly the big names profit, musicians worldwide are trying a new hands down, back-to-roots-approach with personal contact to the audiences. What this will entail and where it’ll take us, remains to be seen.
