Biography

Loris Mittaz spent his childhood in the Valais mountains, in Chermignon. At the age of 8, he learned that a disease would gradually cause him to lose his sight. His disability would compel him to relinquish several of his favourite activities.

It was then that he developed a passion for music and the piano. He discovered a special affinity with this instrument, which became a means to transcend obstacles, an inexhaustible source of resilience and creativity.

His journey, as much as his music, is an ode to perseverance, a heartfelt invitation to engage with his audience in an authentic and profound experience.

Classically trained (EJMA), Loris has been performing with various projects since the age of 15. With a keen musical curiosity, his projects and collaborations are diverse, spanning from rap (Oxmo Puccino, Moodjo) to electronic music (Feder, Marieposa), including psychedelic rock (The Doors Revival) and pop (Mia Oud).

Concurrently, he explores the possibilities of composition and embarks on his personal musical project. He was quickly noticed and made his solo debut on prestigious stages (Crans-Montana Classics, Autumn Festival Montreux) starting in 2022.

Bridging classical, jazz, and contemporary music, his compositions offer a melodious, profound, and vibrant journey. Loris invites us to embark on this journey with him, with the intention that each listener may close their eyes and envision the narrative of what they hear.
