The world-famous Swiss cellist plays live in Zurich
With over 13 million followers on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook, Jodok has become one of Switzerland's best-known content creators - a global musician who has brought the cello to Generation Z and beyond. Under the name "JODOKCELLO", his art experienced a real boom online. On his "WORLD TOUR", he is now making a stop in Zurich, among other places.
Jodok Vuille was born on 1988 in the quiet hills of the Emmental in Switzerland and grew up on an organic farm, surrounded by nature and silence. It was in this simplicity that he discovered his passion for music. At the age of six, he picked up his first cello and never put it down again. In 2006, he took the bold step of building his own cello, which has accompanied him on his musical journey to this day. He enjoyed a classical music education, completing a bachelor's degree in 2011 and then two master's degrees and obtaining his coveted concert diploma.
For years, Jodok toured Europe as a soloist, chamber musician, orchestral musician and teacher, until he decided to share his life on social media. He performs barefoot in breathtaking natural landscapes, fusing classical and modern cello covers. But Jodok is more than just a viral phenomenon. He is a visionary who brings classical music closer to people and conveys the message he lives by with every note: "Music is not just sound. It is connection. It is presence. It is truth."
His journey has also taken him to perform together - virtually and physically - with stars such as Alan Walker, Il Volo, Lindsey Stirling, Teddy Swims, Il Divo, Placido Domingo Jr. and many others. The royal family of Qatar personally invited him to perform in Doha, and in 2024 he was honored with the World Influencer Award in Cannes.
And as he walks barefoot - sometimes over mountains, sometimes over the stages of this world - he carries with him the spirit of the Alps, the honesty of the earth and the soul of a cello that was never meant to be locked up in Konzertsaal.
