Influenced early on by his musician father, BADCHIEFF, born Shivan Darouiche, began experimenting with music at 13, drawing from Jazz, Soul, Rock, and Electronica to shape his ever-evolving sound. Now BADCHIEFF is sitting down with Schön!, fully dressed in Louis Vuitton, to discuss honesty and vulnerability in his music.

After making a name for himself in Munich’s club scene and signing with truworks in 2019, Badchieff released a string of acclaimed projects, including his debut album ‘Chieff Loves You’. “All of my songs are based on personal experiences,” he shares, reflecting his emotionally raw and honest creative process. Early singles like “9bis9” and “Tempo” also played a key role in making him known, helping him build momentum as one of Germany’s most promising new voices.

For the once-destined basketball athlete, music has been a playground for self-expression since he was 13 years old. “My father is a musician, so music was always around us in the house,” he recalls. This rich environment set the stage for years of musical experimentation. BADCHIEFF’s genre-blending talent earned him a solid foothold in the music industry in 2019.

Following the release of his debut EP ‘1999.jpg’ that same year, and its successor ‘Might Delete Later,’ Badchieff’s distinctive sound has echoed through clubs across Paris, London, and New York. His 2021 debut album ‘Chieff Loves You’ marked a bold, multifaceted dive into his wide-ranging musical inspirations, resulting in a refined and captivating body of work. “I must be in an honest frame of mind to make music,” he tells us. “Some days I feel distracted, but after moments of self-reflection, I can make something real.”

His forthcoming album ‘HEUTE ODER GESTERN’or ‘Today or Yesterday’ in English, is a “nostalgic” album that reflects on BADCHIEFF’s life “and how my past changed me into who I am today.” To celebrate its release, he will embark on an album tour later this year in December. “I’m really excited to play the new songs live,” he says. “It’s been a little boring for me to play the same old songs, so I can’t wait to share the new music with my fans.”
