“Music for celebrating and daydreaming.”

Kronenzeitung

Born behind the drums and shaped by years on the road, David Ruhmer has always had rhythm in his veins. He toured extensively as a drummer with Oehl, Hearts Hearts, Rahel, and Felix Kramer — including as part of Herbert Grönemeyer’s Tumult tour — before stepping into the spotlight as a frontman.

Drawing from the likes of Beck, Paolo Nutini, and Jack White, his sound fuses retro grooves, modern indie rock, and raw soulful energy with bold brass lines. His songs — like polaroids — grainy and honest, live somewhere between living room and outer space. His debut album Cherryland (2023) and The Masterplan (2025) established him as a force in the DACH indie scene — with airplay on FM4, Radio Superfly, egoFM and beyond.

Fully DIY — from songwriting and production to booking and visual direction. Currently on the Masterplan Tour and building towards Rolling on a Runway EP in September 2026.
