Sebastian Krumbiegel (Die Prinzen)

In the organizer's words:

Get up - carry on!

You loved me, you hated me
Cheered or booed anyway
What's the big deal
I feel free
And continue to take full risks

That's what Sebastian Krumbiegel sings in the opener of his album "Aufstehen - Weitermachen!", which will be released on 20.09.24. You can hear that this motto is the program in the 12 songs written exclusively by him. In the title track, he sings about how his mother always advised him to question authority. In "Superhero" he sings about the possibility that everyone has the superpowers to make this world a better place and in "Freddie Mercury" about someone who has actually made the world a better place with his superpowers. At least the music world. There are also political songs, love songs and even a hate song.
"Get up - keep going!" - For as long as he can remember, he has been getting up (sometimes earlier, sometimes later) and carrying on... making music! Sebastian Krumbiegel started making music as a child in the St. Thomas Boys' Choir, where he learned to sing. At 15 he had his first band and then DIE PRINZEN. "No shit, I write songs and sing every day. That often has a downright therapeutic effect, it gives me the strength to get up again and again after setbacks and keep going."
Sebastian Krumbiegel can do a lot once he gets up: recording pop and political piano records and writing books (his autobiography "Meine Stimme" was recently published by Ventil Verlag), portraying singing lizards (with The Masked Singer) and Helmut Kohl (with Jan Böhmermann) and now releasing fresh, cheeky, great (indie) pop records.

I was already at the top and I was lying in the dirt
And sometimes what I did had no level
What's the big deal
I feel free
And continue to take full risks

There's definitely no need to worry about the level of Sebastian Krumbiegel's new work, it's top notch. In this case, it was worth taking a full risk. Carry on!
