Free electron with multicultural origins, Yan Haltey is equally at home in the codified world of business as in the world of art. He manages his schedule like a painter manages his palette of colors and loves to create synergies above all else. .
“What I love about working in the arts is the synergies and coincidences that result in original works. To me, there can be no creation without encounters, without emotions. It’s not about being right or wrong, pleasing or displeasing. I want to elicit reactions, make people think, and provoke strong emotions” (from the book Renaissances , available soon).

Multifacettes
The Artist
Singer-songwriter
Let emotion flow
When I compose music, write texts and scores, it’s an explosion of emotions that intertwine. A trumpeter as a child, then a keyboardist and computer music producer, the voice quickly became my instrument of choice. Rocker, crooner and bass-baritone are the registers in which my voice, which has continued to evolve over the last twenty years, fits in today. Influenced by classical, electronic, rock, 90s, musical comedy, crooners, swing, jazz and French chanson, my musical style varies with the seasons.

Fashion Designer
I embrace my own style
Style is all about character. A mix of glamour and rebellion, perfectionism and messiness, extravagance challenging modesty. At the start of my creative process, there’s a cocktail of emotions, the vision of lines, shapes and colors. Then come sensations, touch and comfort. If the visual harmony and sensations aren’t there, then the piece doesn’t yet deserve to exist and will return to the sewing machine as many times as necessary.
The Voice
Speaker
A chance to make a difference
I certainly have things to say, messages I’d like to get across! But I’d rather keep my mouth shut than to speak into thin air… I consider speaking to be an art. The listener offers me his time, and in exchange I give him the experience of a moment, a moment of reflection and a moment of exchange. Taking the floor is a unique moment and a chance to make a difference, to question, to change the world.
The Voice
Host & interviewer
A unique and authentic moment
In my work as an animator, I seek above all to establish an authentic link with the audience. To feel the energy of a room is something magical that I never tire of. Whether acting as master of ceremonies for a business or entertainment event, in small groups or in front of an audience of hundreds, all I care about is creating a unique and memorable moment for everyone present.
Interviews with people who have done it, stories, analyses. What they went through, learned and kept. No shortcuts, no rhetoric.

Self-portrait
Yan Haltey defines himself as a “free electron”. Born in Jakarta, he grew up near Zurich and then in the canton of Vaud. His many travels brought him a certain open-mindedness at an early age. As a child, he was equally at home playing music and drawing, building elaborate construction sets and understanding the workings of everything around him. Passionate about music, he composes his own pieces and performs a classical repertoire and a wide range of styles as a bass-baritone.
Today, his analytical mind and understanding of systems enable him to manage large-scale projects in the corporate world, while his sensibility makes him an insatiable esthete and an accomplished artist, who devotes himself to accompanying other people’s artistic creation.
Sa multipotentialité, sa vision du monde et ses origines multiculturelles l’ont toujours amené à se sentir à part et la différence est un sujet qui le passionne, au point d’avoir initié en 2021 la création d’une association fédérative pour valoriser la notion de différence. Loin d’être des freins, les différences sont pour lui des richesses à exploiter et lors de ses activités ou prises de parole, il invite chaque personne à réaliser son propre potentiel. La différence, Yan la pratique au quotidien : aussi à l’aise dans un univers professionnel ultra codifié, que mis à nu sur un cliché artistique, il évolue dans toutes les sphères avec une adaptabilité hors du commun et c’est ce qui fait sa singularité.
Yan understands systems and knows how to exploit them, but there’s no price to pay for his independence and freedom. By turns model, fashion designer, singer-songwriter, producer, presenter or speaker, as well as manager, consultant, trainer and facilitator, Yan manages his schedule like a painter manages his color palette.
For him, creation is natural. What he loves most of all, however, is creating emulation. Whether musically, pictorially or at his conferences, he sows seeds of reflection and nourishes and nurtures them. To harvest what? Emotions, reactions, whatever. It’s all about giving free rein to an essential need for artistic expression. Through his company Yan Haltey Brands LLC , he creates synergies between his activities in the fields of art, audiovisual, events, fashion, music and project management. An unusual background, multiple interests, a vivid imagination and unfailing determination… that is Yan Haltey!

Renaissances
I am very excited to present my very first book, Renaissances. Much more than just a book, it represents a slice of life, emotions and fragments of my artistic work, printed on glossy paper. Renaissances reflects my many “lives”, an interweaving of experiences, discoveries and personal rebirths.
What's in the book?
This book of around 300 pages brings together more than a hundred art photographs in which I posed as a model, in front of the lenses of 5 talented photographers with very different styles. I love exploring different worlds, immersing myself in them, casting a different gaze depending on the angle, surprising and letting myself be surprised…
These aren't just photos; they are captured fragments of the soul, moments of shared emotion and artistic connection.

Anitha
Professionnel. Organisé, méticuleux, Yan a plein d'idées mais il ne les laisse pas partir dans tous les sens. Tout est carré, soigné, planifié, au point qu'on arrive à travailler en totale décontraction, sachant que l'objectif sera atteint. Rigueur et créativité, Yan sait s'entourer des professionnels qui l'aideront à mener à bien tous ses projets.
