JAN HEGENBERG 20 Years Hegenberg Tour (SOLD OUT!)

rock

The Berliner Zeitung called him "probably better known in the scene than Britney Spears", PC Action compared him to "Robbie Williams", attested Jan "style" and authenticity, GameStar songs with "cult status". Music critic Henrik Dürer even drew comparisons to the "Doctors" in the Kieler Nachrichten and RTL 2 already called Jan the "most successful artist in the independent music scene". His avowed fans include prominent Youtubers such as LeFloid (2.9 million subscribers), PietSmiet (2 million) and Unge (1.5 million). With several million streams on Spotify, Hegenberg songs are in the same league as well-known bands such as "In Extremo" and "Subway to Sally".

One thing is clear: Hegenberg rocks the scene - from his own concerts with several hundred visitors, to the Roleplay Convention Germany with 20,000 visitors, to Gamescom with almost 350,000 visitors. Many of his songs have become real scene anthems: The most successful of the 60,000 or so YouTube fan videos for his "World of Warcraft" hit "Die Horde rennt" alone has now been viewed well over 9 million times.

It all began in the very place where the music industry saw its end: the Internet!

For fun, Jan produced "GPFsuckt" for gamer friends and put the clan song on his homepage. A short time later, the site collapsed under the pressure of demand. Spurred on by the initial success, Jan wrote more songs about PC gamers and life. These songs also turned into scene anthems within a few weeks through word of mouth. First concert requests. First fans. First ballads, rock and pop songs. Fans' cell phones rang with the melodies of Hegenberg's hits, and the guestbook on Jan's website now had more entries than that of the then RTL "superstar" Alexander Klaws. Fan clubs are founded, Jan becomes the patron of a charitable association that buys PCs for schools with the proceeds from LAN parties. big FM, Germany's largest private youth radio station, even takes Jan on tour as the pick-me-up for the "Knallwach-WM".

Jan goes into the studio and produces his first album called "DEMOtape". The highlight: the debut is released as a DVD supplement to the magazine "PC Action". This unprecedented idea gives Hegenberg an audience of 500,000 potential fans and a nationwide press response in one fell swoop. Despite the free "album glut", the subsequently repressed album becomes a bestseller. However, the musician turns down a record deal: "It works like that too!"

That's right! The pleasing result so far: eight albums, one of them exclusively for "Media Markt". Plus regularly sold-out concerts, several million song downloads, sponsors such as Atari, guest appearances on talk shows and in the successful PC game "Drakensang", his own TV column on the ARD channel EinsPlus, and much more.

The renowned daily newspaper "Die Rheinpfalz" recently summarized the success story as follows: "The music is mostly good-mood rock and grooves properly. (...) Hegenberg has created his own genre with his gamer music, in which he is very successful and absolutely unrivaled."
