Marcus Fuereder, known as Parov Stelar, is one of Austria's most successful artists and a pioneer of Electro Swing. Since his 2004 debut with the EP Kisskiss and the album Rough Cuts, he has released 10 studio albums, 20 EPs and a live album, cementing his status in the international music scene. His innovative fusion of genres has led to collaborations with artists like Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga and Lana Del Rey. With over 1,000 performances in iconic venues such as Alexandra Palace in London and Zenith in Paris, and appearances at festivals like Coachella and Glastonbury, Parov Stelar has achieved global recognition. He has won 10 Amadeus Austrian Music Awards and reached milestones such as Double Platinum for "All Night" in Italy. His music is widely featured in ads for brands like Audi, Google and Paco Rabanne, and in compilations such as Hotel Costes and Buddha Bar. Beyond music, Parov Stelar is also an accomplished painter. His creative process blends digital techniques and traditional oil painting, using art as a tactile counterpoint to his musical work.
