Question Time With Daniel Schuhmacher

The moment everyone has been waiting for! We sent the questions and Daniel Schuhmacher (German Singer/Songwriter) answered them.

Check out the answers right here:

1. Daniel, you are well known in Germany, Austria and Switzerland but for people outside these countries, could you tell us how you started your career in the music industry?

I won season 6 of German Idol in 2009. And I entered the music industry very quickly.

2. Your single ‘Rolling Stone’ has been spreading round the media and all over social media, where did you get your inspiration for this song?

The Song is about my experiences, especially in the last 4 years after the show. Sometimes in Germany, people see you more as a cliche than as a real artist. So you always have to prove that you got ambition to do music and your own thing.

3. ‘Diversity’ is the title of your new album, what makes it different to your other albums?

 It's the first one I wrote by myself with the help of a co-writer and great producers from Hamburg, Cologne, Ulm and the UK. It is all about my life, my experiences and everything I think. The sound is pop-music  with electro (synthesizer) from the 80's but also piano ballades.

4. If you could work with any singer/band in the world, who would it be and why?

There would be many. I blame Coco, the Veronicas, Kelly Clarkson would be a dream come true. But also in Germany we got great and sometimes underestimated artists.

 5. What do you have planned with your music for the rest of this year and 2014?

Do the best promotion I can, 2 Christmas concerts here in Germany, and we are planning my tour for spring 2014. 

6. Is your music available to buy in other countries apart from Germany, Austria and Switzerland?

I guess is possible for example via I-Tunes and when people recognize my music in foreign countries that would be the biggest thing for me.

Cause there they only know my music now and nothing about any cliches (casting act) or something like that.

 Cause there they only know my music and nothing which would show me that musically I'm on a good way :-).

7. Where is the strangest place you have ever had a gig? 

Good question... Hmmm I don't have any crazy place in mind but for me my homecoming concert after Idols was crazy. I played in my hometown, population 12.000 people and in this park there were 16.000 in the audience which was really crazy  and overwhelming. 

8. You sing your songs in English, Why did you choose to do this and what do you find most difficult about doing this? 

I grew up with English pop Music and I always wanted to understand what they sing about so  I studied many lyrics. I guess that’s the reason why I write in English because in music it feels familiar. But sometimes I still need a little bit help ;-)

 9. When you are not performing, rehearsing or writing music, what do you do? 

 I enjoy my life in my hometown where I live again. You can almost call it a small village because it feels like that. I got my family and friends there and that is what Ineed when I’ve got a couple of days off

10. If you could perform in any country in the world, where would you like to perform?

Oh God I guess it would be any country in the world! But I think really special would be the UK because of their amazing pop music culture. There are so many great musicians

Lee Matthews - Sadie's Got Her New Dress On

Monrose - 7 years today

Today marks what would be German girlband Monrose's 7th year together (sadly they split up). Senna Guemmour, Bahar Kizil and Mandy Capristo were the winners of Popstars Germany 2006 and enjoyed success achieving four top 10 albums in Germany.

What many people don't know is back in 2009 the girls teamed up with British singer Craig David to record a re-release of his song 'Walking Away' which was due to be released. In the end, the song never got released.

We would love to see the girls get back together and make new music.

Who knows what the future holds!

The X Factor Australia 2013 was such a success that every week at least one song from the contestants entered the Australian charts.
With so much talent, here are the Top 3:

Dami Im (Winner):

 Dami Im is this years winner and with 6 standing ovations in a row, just shows how talented she is. With her mentor Dannii Minogue, the pair worked so hard to better the last performance which was very difficult to do as all of Dami's performances were amazing.
Dami's winning single 'Alive' not only went to number one in Australia but also entered the Philippines Chart at number 25, Singapore Chart at number 16 and number 29 in the South Korea (her native country) Chart.

Taylor Henderson (2nd Place):

 Taylor Henderson is the country guy of the top 4 contestants. The female population in Australia absolutley loved him and his amazing vocals just shows he has the talent to match his looks.
His mentor Ronan Keating (Boyzone) worked hard with Taylor and there were even times during the rehearsals where Ronan and Taylor didn't always agree on song choices. This happened when Ronan gave Cyndi Lauper's 'Girls Just Want To Have Fun' to Taylor. In the end, Taylor gave a fantastic performance of the song and it entered the Australian chart at number 2 and was certified gold, making this the highest charting live performance from any of the contestants.

Taylor released what would have been his winner's single 'Borrow My Heart' and it went straight to number one and was also certified gold.

Week after week he worked with Ronan to prove that although he is only 14, he has the talent and what it takes to succeed in the music industry.

'Your Eyes' would have been his winner's single but instead was used as his debut single went straight into the Australian chart at number 6.
