My BIO

ALANAS CHOSNAU

“I have been traveling this road for many years now. Since fourteen I consciously wanted to devote my life to music and actually did so. Music means all to me – the beginning and the end of the road.  I live with the music. I live for the music. I share my music with the greatest love and belief that my listener feels it.”

Alanas Chosnau is Lithuanian – Kurdish music artist born in Vilnius, grown in Baghdad and returned to Lithuania after the early loss of his beloved mother.

In 1992 ‐ 2001 Alanas was the leader of the then extremely popular band Naktines Personos which released 10 albums and 2 singles with multiple awards the Band of the Year and the Album of the Year. As soon as the first record Mes paukščiai (We Are the Birds) was released, the media immediately labelled Naktines Personos as the new age romantics able to create a solid new edge Lithuanian pop music after the fall of the Soviet Union. And the band successfully did so during their entire life until splitting in 2001.

In 2003 Alanas released his first solo album Pusiau atmerktos akys (Half‐Open Eyes) which turned into a bestseller and gained Alanas his first personal award – the Best Performer of the Year. Album Pusiau atmerktos akys also won the Golden Disc Award and the Best Song of the Year (song Letter on the Snow) awards. His following music album Mintimis su tavimi (With You In My Mind) again won the Golden Disc award in 2003.

In 2006 Alanas was twice awarded with the Best Performer of the Year prize. In 2003 – 2009 he released 7 solo albums, couple of which were mastered in the USA by Grammy Awards’ nominee.

In 2014 the band Naktines Personos was recovered with three successful national tours around Lithuania and abroad, released a digital album Pasaulis toks yra (The World is Like That), however, decided to split in 2018 October.

2018 November Alanas Chosnau released his newest solo single Tu gali arba ne (You Can or You Can Not) and announced his return as a solo artist.

Since then inspirational music work followed gifting Alanas listeners with new solo songs as well as co-produced works. Currently Alanas splits his creative work between Vilnius and Berlin. 

Since 2018 Alanas works with iconic British music producer, remixer and musician from Berlin Mark Reeder and an outstanding music producer Micha Adam at Monumental Studio in Berlin. After the acclaimed response to their first love song Losing My Mind which was featured in the French cold-war movie Le Chant du Loup (The Wolf’s Call), Mark Reeder and Alanas Chosnau now return with their first outtake All Alone from their forthcoming album together, Children of Nature.

In Lithuania Alanas is currently recording the new album Planetos with a famous Lithuanian music producer and DJ Leon Somov, which will be officially released in 2021 and promoted with the national tour Planetos on March / April 2021.
