Internationally renowned music producer and composer Henrik Schwarz is known for his eclectic musical approach to composition and sound design. As a producer and performer, he has successfully maintained a balance between electronic music, classical and jazz, as well as between energetic, highly charged dance sets at huge Techno events and concert performances in seated auditoriums.

Since 2002, Schwarz has been releasing his own music, and has accrued over 250 music releases and productions as an artist for big and small labels like Warner Music, Universal Music, Motown, Sony/BMG, !K7, Verve Records, and indies like Defected Records, Innervisions, Ninja Tune, G-Stone , Compost Records and many more.

Countless, widely heard remix productions for a Who’s Who of the international dance scene have ensued, making their way into DJ charts. Amongst those whose work he’s tailored for the global dance floor are Michael Jackson, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Boy George, Ebo Taylor, Ane Brun, Camille, The Foals, Mari Boine and Techno Brass Band Meute. In addition, Coldplay and Mary J. Blige have recently sought his unique production style and sonic aesthetics.

Schwarz is in great demand as an innovator when it comes to the invention and development of music software and new technology for musical instruments, hence his release of the compositional patch, the SCHWARZONATOR. He works closely with companies like Yamaha Music, Ableton, Native Instruments etc.
