Huber has“redefined the boundaries of music”, award organiser Initiative Switzerland wrote in a press release on Wednesday, and as a creative mind, songwriter, composer and painter has had a lasting influence on the Swiss music scene.

Patent Ochsner's musical output is diverse, ranging from rock and folk to experimental sounds. The band, which sings in Bernese dialect, also forges its own path in its use of instrumentation, making use of mandolins, accordions and even a brass band. Its back catalogue includes songs such as 'W. Nuss vo Bümpliz' and 'Bälpmoos'.

Guest musicians such as Sophie Hunger and Andreas Schaerer joined them onstage at the 2021 concert. The band has also been honoured with seven Swiss Music Awards across various categories.
