Junior Carl

Melancholy and endorphins! Not only his writing style and his flows are unique. No: Junior Carl is different and his supporters describe him as “differently wild”. The Cologne newcomer moves authentically between world-weariness, love and party demolition. Most of you should already be familiar with his songs “Blaue Augen” and “Beam Mich Up”. Carl grew up in the east of Cologne and founded his first band at the age of 11. He started out playing drums and singing and then swapped drums for electric bass. From then on, the then 13-year-old was at the front of the stage when he sang. Through his father (solo timpanist in the WDR Funkhausorchester and drummer in the big band), music played a major role in his childhood. His mother married the ex-drummer of the Zeltinger Band and so his early musical influences were rock as well as classical music and jazz. At the age of 17, Carl flew to Jamaica, where he discovered the sound system culture there.
