Crazy that 2025 is already over, right? When I think back... a year ago I had no idea if anyone would even want to listen to my music.
And now you're here - 110 of you who subscribed to my newsletter! That's totally insane and means so much to me.
And you, you're part of it too.
2025 was definitely my year, I now have labels that don't bother me:
1. Singer (with 39 songs in one year, rightfully so, right?)
2. YouTuber (with a channel that started in May, has more than 120 videos and 3200 subscribers)
3. Podcaster (With two of my own podcast formats. "Max Podcast - more than just a novel character" and "Max antwortet"
4. Calendar-Boy (Dude there's even a calendar and artbook of me now)
Damn! Would I have ever expected it to turn out like this? Clear answer: Nope!
And what does that make me?
Dude, really grateful. Period.

2026 is gonna be totally awesome – I already have so many new songs ready that are just waiting to come out! Honestly, I'm putting my whole heart into it. Every track tells a new story. Get excited for some seriously fresh music from me.
The most successful song and maybe your favorite song too was "Ich bin doch nur ich" and that's now my signature song. So, that's the song that plays as background music every Saturday in the video clips.
You can also stream it everywhere, like here on Spotify:
