For the fact that Christoph Sakwerda came to singing rather indirectly, the songs of the 23-year-old are a sensation. Perhaps because the newcomer from Dessau simply says things as they are. With a voice that is second to none and with words that come from the heart and get under the skin. Yet music plays a completely different role in Christoph Sakwerda's life for the time being. Born in Dessau in 1999, he began playing the violin at the age of five. But the older he gets, the less interesting the instrument seems. When his mother sees an ad in the newspaper for the play "The Magic Flute" at the renowned Anhalt Theater in his hometown, Christoph tries his luck - and is promptly accepted.
He then sings in bands and - more out of boredom - starts writing his own lyrics in class. At 17, Christoph finally stands in front of the microphone in the studio for the first time and also performs solo on stage. During one of his first performances at the children's home in Dessau, the city's officials take notice of the singer. Christoph, who does not drink alcohol or use drugs and is a passionate athlete, becomes part of a large-scale anti-drug campaign by the city of Dessau. The aim: to offer young people who come from difficult backgrounds motivation through music and sport.
