In the artist's words:

MELANCHOLY AND ENDORPHINS! IT'S NOT JUST HIS WRITING STYLE AND HIS FLOWS THAT ARE UNIQUE. NO: JUNIOR CARL IS DIFFERENT. HIS SUPPORTERS CALL HIM "DIFFERENTLY WILD". THE COLOGNE NEWCOMER MOVES AUTHENTICALLY BETWEEN WORLD-WEARINESS, LOVE AND PARTY DEMOLITION. MOST OF YOU SHOULD ALREADY KNOW HIS SONGS "BLAUE AUGEN" AND "BEAM MICH UP".

GROWING UP IN THE EAST OF COLOGNE, JUNIOR CARL FOUNDS HIS FIRST BAND AT THE AGE OF 11. AT FIRST HE PLAYED DRUMS AND SANG AND THEN SWAPPED DRUMS FOR ELECTRIC BASS. FROM NOW ON, THE THEN 13-YEAR-OLD IS AT THE FRONT OF THE STAGE WHEN HE SINGS. THANKS TO HIS FATHER (SOLO DRUMMER IN THE WDR FUNKHAUS ORCHESTRA 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. AS A TEENAGER, HIP-HOP, PUNK AND ESPECIALLY NEW YORK HARDCORE WERE ADDED.

AT 17, CARL BECAME INTERESTED IN REGGAE AND DANCEHALL. HE FLIES TO JAMAICA, WHERE HE DISCOVERS THE SOUNDSYSTEM CULTURE THERE FOR HIMSELF. INFECTED BY THE VIBES OF THE ISLAND, HE FOUNDS A SOUND SYSTEM ON HIS RETURN. THANKS TO HIS LIVE QUALITIES, HE ENDS UP IN THE "POW POW MOVEMENT" SHORTLY AFTERWARDS AND IS THE YOUNGEST MEMBER TO BE GIVEN THE NAME JUNIOR CARL. POW POW IS ONE OF THE MOST BOOKED SOUND SYSTEMS IN EUROPE AND JUNIOR CARL IS ALWAYS AT THE FOREFRONT DURING THIS TIME - WHETHER ENTERTAINING 15,000 PEOPLE AT FESTIVLAS OR 500 IN THE CLUBS OF THE METROPOLISES. BACK THEN HE WAS ALREADY WORKING ON HIS OWN MUSIC, WHICH HE FOCUSED ON AND RELEASED FROM THEN ON.

TOGETHER WITH PRODUCERS GUIDO CRAVEIRO (SEEED, QUERBEAT) AND SYRIX (RAF CAMORA, GREEEN), HE RELEASED HIS DEBUT ALBUM "NATÜRLICHE MYSTIK" IN 2021. HE THEN CAUSED A SENSATION AT FESTIVALS SUCH AS SUMMERJAM, JUICY BEATS AND AS A SUPPORT ACT FOR GREEEN. WHILE HIS SINGLE BLAUE AUGEN HAS CRACKED THE 2 MILLION STREAMS ON SPOTIFY, HE IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON HIS SECOND ALBUM "BIS ZUM MOND" - HE HAS BEEN JOINED BY PRODUCERS PHAT CRISPY (EKO FRESH, SIDO), DEAD RABBIT (MARSIMOTO, GREEN BERLIN) AND THE COLOGNE-BASED BEZIK ZWO COLLECTIVE.
