THOMAS ANDERS was born on 1 March 1963 and is one of the few German stars who can be said to have made both a national and international impact on music history. During his time with Modern Talking, he enjoyed countless chart successes that spread his fame to almost every corner of the earth.
“You’re my heart, you’re my soul”, for example, reached number 1 in 81 countries. Worldwide CD sales of Modern Talking and of Thomas Anders’ solo works have now topped the 125 million mark. Thomas Anders has received more than 420 gold and platinum discs or CD’s and numerous awards to mark his artistic achievements. The latter have included the “Bambi”, the “Goldene Europa”, the “Goldene Kamera”, the “ECHO”, the “World Music Award”, the Golden and Silver “Bravo-Otto”, the “Golden Lion” from Radio Luxembourg and many more besides.
Despite such triumphant success, Thomas Anders is a man who is constantly on the look out for the next challenge. A serious and professional entertainer, he does not know the meaning of the word stagnation.
The worldwide success he enjoyed with Modern Talking was followed by the release of many solo albums in Germany and abroad. His most recent solo pop album “STRONG” sold over 1.000.000 copies in Russia alone and was awarded a platinum disc.
The video for “Stay with me”, a track taken from this album, was one of the most spectacular of Thomas Anders’ career and saw him perform the role of James Bond in true 007 style.
He had a new surprise up his sleeve in 2011, when he joined musical forces with Uwe Fahrenkrog-Petersen, best known for his production and song writing work with Nena. Their album “Two” shot to number 11 in the album charts as the “Gentleman of Music” transformed himself into a “Gigolo” for a brief musical period.
After releasing more than 25 albums, Thomas Anders then fulfilled a wish he had cherished for some considerable time by recording his first Christmas album. Just like its architect, “Christmas for You” was a multi-faceted kaleidoscope. New, yet traditional, and international yet private, this was a work that reflected the very essence of the man himself.
After 40 years in the business, Thomas Anders' offerings as a solo artist continue to excite and enthuse the music world. His fans cherish his authenticity and the stylish intimacy he is able to portray in his concerts. They love the feeling and mood he puts across in his songs.
THOMAS ANDERS is a musician through and through with a wealth of experience in the entertainment branch. He has been on the stage for more than 40 years and made his first TV appearance as long as 30 years ago. After this, his career went in only one direction – up! His concerts took him all over the world – from Cape Town to Hong Kong, from Tel Aviv to New York, from Santiago de Chile to Moscow.
THOMAS ANDERS remains the only international star to have performed eleven times at the historic Kremlin in Moscow, the Russian equivalent of the Royal Albert Hall. It goes without saying that he sold out on each occasion.
