He Told Me To

alt-pop // indie // loop artist 

He Told Me To is the alt-pop alias of Coburg-based songwriter Sandro Weich – somewhere between bedroom pop and the stage edge, between self-deprecating humor and emotional depth. His songs dive into vulnerability and contradiction, anger and warmth, old wounds and new perspectives. With raw intimacy, crooked wit, and a sonic palette that nods to Kat Frankie, Cigarettes After Sex, and the poppier side of Nine Inch Nails.

After a creative break, He Told Me To returns in 2025 with “Noses Like Aliens” – a personal, stirring album that intertwines past and present. Inspired by artists who never settled for one format, He Told Me To sounds like what pop can be when you’re not afraid to be vulnerable.
