in 2007, they won the first season of the RTL show “The super talent” with Opera singing. The man did not know of the talent shows in this country until then. They were so successful?

I have not taken the consignment to the beginning, not so seriously. A friend wanted to participate in the Show, and his wife signed me up secretly. It was never my goal, to get to the finals. But I seem to have hit the taste of the audience. A few months earlier, Paul Potts won the British edition of the “super talents”. Tenors were very popular and touched the audience.

Dieter Bohlen, jury member of the “super talent”, produced for their first CD, six songs. How long the contact lasted to him?

We have about a year of very good together. After the harmonica player Michael Hirte, was named the following year as a new super talent, has focused Dieter Bohlen to him. I follow Dieter today on Instagram and have him written up recently, but still received no response. Classical music is not his music, and he can start with me so much.

€ 100,000 win bonus, and a revenue of almost half a Million Euro in a year: How it is lived as an 18-Year-old with a lot of money and fame?

By the celebrity and the many performances I felt a little bit like a Prince. My parents held me on the floor. Big luxury I gave myself hardly, and not exuberantly lived.

How it came, that you had to sign up in 2011 personal bankruptcy?

A part of my profit was gone, because I had helped my parents to invest in a Restaurant. The Store went broke. I also had to pay back taxes for earlier performances, and I couldn’t. Therefore, the debt kept piling up.

Suffered the family is very including?

My girlfriend at the time, Vivien and I stopped. However, our relationship went later in the fractures. Our daughter Mariella lives today with her mother. I’m happily Single – Mariella no other woman is enough. I see my daughter regularly, and we sing together a lot. It is really good and will visit in the coming year, a music school.

As they came out of the debt hole?

in addition to my studies at the music University of Düsseldorf, graduated in 2014, I have done a lot of work. I’m performed together with the pianist for Galas, played in Opera houses and sang in oratorios in churches. Starting in 2015, I was part of the “Trio Ensemble Royal”.

And today?

I’m debt-free and will take after years of Pause a CD. On the plate I covere it party Hits and sing duets with stars. In addition, the planning for a tour to be running – one of my own, more than eleven years after the victory at the “super talent”.
