You have been to London, how would
you compare it to Munich when it
comes to artistic freedom as a
musician?
It‘s another level. In Munich it‘s very hard
to play gigs and find good locations. When
I was in London I tried singing there
because I was amazed by the music
culture there. For example, there is always
an „Open Mice“ in a few pubs, where you
can play your songs and the people are
really listening to it and enjoying live
music.
"I guess I would want to
become famous."
Can you tell us a bit of your family
business, Klett Verlag? What will
happen with your music? Your family
expects you to take further studies, if
you want to work there (for the
business). What if you become famous
as a musician?
The Klett Verlag is huge publishing house for
school books in Europe and it is an amazing
company. It‘s my goal to work there one day.
My family expects me to study and I really
want to go to college next year. Becoming
famous through my music is more or less
what I want, I mean, yes in someways it
would be my dream and If I had to choose, I
guess I would want to become famous, that
is the most imporant reason why I'm making
music. It‘s something I always keep in
mind... It helps me in every situation and to
get through the day. I don‘t know if it‘s
helpful to make music if I have to do another
job. But If I become known, I think I the
university can wait, I mean I‘m still young.
Tell our readers about how I met you
when you were 17 and I asked if you
might be interested in modeling. You
were extremely thin at the time that
was why I thought you were ideal for
modeling.
I was in Munich with my ex-girlfriend
at the metro station at Marienplatz
and you came and gave me your card.
I called you and we met. I was very
interested in modeling because I
always loved fashion and the way
people dress. We did few shootings
but I was too young to sign a contact.
Then I had a lot to do with school and
music and I had other interests.
Modeling Is a very hard job and you‘ve
got to be 100% sure to do it.
"The music from the 80s
inspires me in thousand
ways."
You also voluntarily did your military
service. What have you learned from
it? What advise can you give our
young male readers?
The military service was very
important for me and my life. It taught
me what it meant to work hard, how
to give 110% of your energy to reach a
goal and be disciplined. I had a lot of
time to think and to talk to all kinds of
people. I think everyone who is
thinking about joinig the army should
do it. I think it‘s wrong to force people
to go there but for me it was an
amazing experience and I met good
friends there.
