Pat Burgener is a Swiss professional snowboarder and musician.

Showing an early talent on his board, he joined the Swiss national team at the age of 14. His ambition paved the way to the top, propelling him time and again into the world’s top three.

Like most athletes at this level, Pat has suffered several injuries. Following one such injury in 2014, he used his time away from the slopes to pursue his second passion: music. He then formed a band with his brother Max and a childhood friend.

His early releases have earned him spots on the lineups of several internationally renowned festivals, such as the Montreux Jazz Festival, Sion Sous Les Etoiles, and, most recently, the Gürten Festival.

Back on his board, Pat continues his rise to the top, racking up the best results of his career—including two podium finishes at the World Championships in 2017 and 2019, and an extraordinary 5th-place finish at the 2018 Olympic Games. “Music has helped me find my inner balance, which is essential for performing well in any field,” he says of his performance.

In March 2018, with the support of Universal Music, Pat released his first EP, titled *The Route*, which was a huge success and has now racked up over one million streams on Spotify.

This summer, he’s back with his second album, titled *Icar*, a reference to the legend of Icarus from Greek mythology. “I think everyone should fly as high as they can and pursue their dreams, even if it means taking risks,” he explains. The EP was recorded last year in San Diego with Jasper Leak, a producer known for his work with Sia and his recent nomination at the 2019 Emmy Awards as music supervisor for Quincy Jones’ documentary *QUINCY*.

At the same time, Pat remains focused on his athletic goals, with the dream of standing on the top step of the podium at the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games always in the back of his mind.
