Wolfsheart, an internationally renowned four-time Native American Music Award winner,
multi-award-winning recording artist, and performer, is celebrated for his soulful Native American flute music and his dedication to honoring indigenous culture.
He is also known for his work with his former band Big City Indians.
Four-time Native American Music Award winner Wolfsheart is renowned for his unique style: powerful vocals, soulful flute melodies, and music that blends traditional elements of indigenous cultures with modern influences. With over sixteen albums, international festival appearances, and numerous awards, he has established himself as one of the leading artists in the world of spiritual and indigenous music.
As the first European to receive the prestigious Native American Music Award in New York, Wolfsheart gained international recognition. Invitations to major festivals, such as the Zion Canyon Flute Festival 2010 in Utah or the Southwest Flute Festival 2023 in Arizona, brought him to the stage alongside the world’s finest Native American flutists, securing his place in the global scene.
A highlight of his career is the collaboration with world-renowned artist José Feliciano.
In addition to joint live performances, the songs Come Down Jesus and Red Dust were created. Feliciano himself said about Wolfsheart:…„I love the way he plays the flute and I love him, he is a great individual….“
Wolfsheart spent several years as host and producer at the Native American music channel Woodroot Radio. There he created and presented shows featuring music and artists from the Native American scene – a format that strongly resembled today’s podcast concept. This experience highlights both his expertise and his role as an ambassador of cultural diversity.
As a musical ambassador, Wolfsheart also makes an impact: in 2013, his band Big City Indians released Earth Is Crying – Dry Her Tears as the official song of WWF Earth Hour Austria, part of the world’s largest environmental protection campaign.
Inspiration & Journeys
Wolfsheart’s music is shaped by travel, a deep connection to nature, and spiritual experiences. The album “The Call Of The Canyons” (2010), inspired by the vast landscapes of the American Southwest, earned him the Native American Music Award for Best Native Heart Record of the Year.
A later journey to the Andes opened new musical horizons: the album “Whispers of the Andes”, created in collaboration with South American flutists (Inca tradition), combines Native Flute, South American rhythms, and pan flute into a unique cultural fusion.
With “Fire in the Andes”, Wolfsheart paid musical homage to the power and spirituality of South America,
or his interpretation of the traditional folk song “Scarborough Fair” inspired by Celtic mysticism show how he transforms stories into sound and reinterprets musical heritage.
Collaborations & Versatility
Since the beginning of his solo career, Wolfsheart has worked closely with Christian Skokan, who has co-composed and produced the majority of his albums. Their creative partnership forms the foundation of Wolfsheart’s unique sound.
In addition to Skokan, Wolfsheart collaborates extensively with singer and guitarist Michael Nix. Their duos combine vocals, guitar, and flute into emotionally rich, captivating performances.
Furthermore, his long-standing collaboration with Robert Horak shaped the acoustic albums “Acoustic Ride” and “Acoustic Sunrise”, celebrated for handcrafted authenticity, delicate tonal colors, and poetic arrangements. For fans of music outside the mainstream – and especially connoisseurs of acoustic journeys – the harmonious folk-pop-world sounds of these albums are a true soul-refreshing experience.

Message & Philosophy
From early childhood, Wolfsheart was deeply connected to nature and music. The indigenous cultures of North America fascinated him and shaped his artistic life. In a special ceremony, he received the name “Wolfsheart” – the wolf as a wise teacher, pathfinder, and symbol of freedom has since been his inspiration.
His music is more than sound – it is poetry, spirit, and heartbeat. With soft, mysterious flute tones and powerful singing, he creates soundscapes filled with visions, hope, and inner peace.
