Christopher - AUSVERKAUFT

With Christopher Lund Nissen, who simply calls himself Christopher as singer and songwriter, the currently most successful Danish pop star comes to Germany in November! Christopher debuted in 2010 at the age of 19 with the single "Against the Odds". Since then, every official single of his has gone gold or platinum in Denmark. He has won numerous awards including four Danish Music Awards, "Most Promising International Artist" at the Chinese Music Awards and the SCTV Awards in Indonesia, he is also a two-time winner of the MTV EMA for "Best Danish Artist". He has become a multi-platinum selling artist in Asia, charting in South Korea, the Philippines, Singapore and Taiwan, as well as a remarkable track record of 12 number one hits on China's QQ Music Charts. After five studio albums to date, he debuted in 2023 in his first starring role as an actor in the Netflix movie "A Beautiful Life," which hit No. 1 on the Netflix charts worldwide in its opening week. He also wrote the songs on the film's original soundtrack, which once again topped the charts in Denmark. Now Christopher is coming to Germany for four concerts between November 9 and 16.

Since he was twelve years old, Christopher has been writing songs on his acoustic guitar. At the age of 19, through contacts of his father, he got the chance to play his songs live in front of the decision makers of EMI Music in Denmark - and left the building with a record contract. Just a short time later, his debut single was already released with the programmatic title "Against the Odds," inspired by songwriting heroes like John Mayer, Jason Mraz and Jack Johnson. "Against the Odds" proved to be a huge success; the official video became one of the first ever viral hits in Denmark, leading to a prestigious music award as "Innovator of the Year" awarded by Spotify in 2012. The accompanying album "Colours" rose from the spot to #4 on the Danish charts in 2012.

The second long player "Told You So" (2014) introduced new funky sounds with several platinum hit singles, including the title track, "Crazy" and "CPH Girls." Moving even further toward the club was "Twerk It Like Miley," his collaboration with Danish-American rap star Brandon Beal. The clubbeat-inspired track racked up more than 250 million online plays. The distinctly acoustic and more intimate songs on his third album, " Closer" (2016), featured Christopher's look at real life and his own story. "Pop with great content" was henceforth a description that always accompanied Christopher - and "Closer" landed directly at No. 1 on the Danish album charts. The album featured six singles, including international collaborations with Matoma and Madcon, while news of a Danish pop sensation began to spread around the world. Several singles reached the charts in Asia, and in countries such as South Korea, the Philippines, Singapore and Taiwan, Christopher is now a multi-platinum selling artist. He manifested his international success with two more albums - "Under the Surface" (2019) and "My Blood" (2021), an album whose content revolves around his wife and first son.

In 2022, Christopher was able to show that he was ready for a new challenge with his first leading role as an actor in "A Beautiful Life." Shooting the film with acclaimed director Mehdi Avaz was very exciting for the 31-year-old musician. Not only was it the Danish singer's first starring role, Christopher is also the voice and songwriter of the original soundtrack for the film, which launched worldwide on Netflix on June 1. Film critics highlighted his outstanding performance as an acting debutant, and during its premiere week, "A Beautiful Life" reached the top 10 in 60 territories and first place in Denmark and nine other countries. All this helped Christopher gain even more popularity, a fantastic singer and musician who, with more than 2.5 billion streams, is currently the most successful Danish
