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

This is sung by Sebastian Krumbiegel in the opener of his album "Aufstehen – Weitermachen!" which will be released on 20.09.24. You can hear that this motto is his program in the 12 songs he wrote exclusively himself. In the title song, he sings about how his mother always advised him to question authorities. In “Superheld” he sings about the possibility that everyone has these superpowers to make the world a better place, and in “Freddie Mercury” about someone who actually made the world a better place with his superpowers. At least the music world. Furthermore, there are political songs, love songs, and even a hate song.
“Aufstehen – Weitermachen!” – since he can remember, he gets up (sometimes earlier, sometimes later) and keeps going… music! Sebastian Krumbiegel started with music as a child in the Thomanerchor, where he learned to sing. At 15, he had his first band and then THE PRINZEN. “No joke, I write songs every day and sing. That often has therapeutic effects; it gives me the strength to get up and continue after setbacks.”
Sebastian Krumbiegel can do a lot once he has gotten up: record pop and political piano albums, write books (his autobiography “Meine Stimme” was recently published by Ventil Verlag), portray singing lizards (on The Masked Singer) and Helmut Kohl (on Jan Böhmermann), and now also fresh, cheeky, fabulous (Indie) pop records straight from the heart.

I’ve been at the top and I’ve lain in the dirt
And sometimes what I did had no level
What’s the big deal
I feel free
And I continue to take risks

No need to worry about the level of Sebastian Krumbiegel’s new work; it’s top-notch. Taking risks has paid off in this case. Keep going!
