Max Prosa (* 1989 in Berlin ; real name Max Podeschwig ) is a German singer-songwriter .

Life

Max Prosa grew up with his mother in Berlin-Charlottenburg , skipped a school class and graduated from the Hildegard-Wegscheider-Oberschule in Berlin-Grunewald at 17 . After two courses of study in physics and philosophy that had been started, but were broken off , Prosa moved to Berlin-Neukölln and devoted himself to music. At 18 he applied to the Mannheim Pop Academy , where he was initially rejected. In 2010, however, he got the opportunity to participate in the Popakademie's band pool project. In 2011, Clueso became aware of him and hired him for the opening act of his in-and-for-itself tour. In the same year he had his first television appearance at Ina's night . In January 2012 his debut album The Fantasy Will Win (with Dota as a guest singer) was released. The work received a positive response from the critics and comparisons with the young Bob Dylan and reached number 20 on the German album charts. In February 2012 Prosa went on his first solo tour across Germany. His second album Rangoon was released in April 2013 . He is friends with Misha Schoeneberg (formerly at Ton Steine ​​Scherben ), with whom he works on the preparation of the lyrics.

In the spring of 2016 Max Prosa was on a nationwide club tour with a new line-up. At the end of March 2017 his third studio album was released, Keiner kampf für mehr .

In the spring of 2018, the artist released the album Heimkehr and at the same time the book Im Stillen with poems and short stories. In an interview with the cultural radio program Corso on Deutschlandfunk in February 2018, Max Prosa said about this double publication: "It was created in the same cycle [...] You can only form certain thoughts when it is quiet [.. .] Sometimes I don't really know whether these texts I'm starting to write, whether they will be songs or poems, that decides for itself. Some of them have been around for three or four years, or I have them in my head until a piece of music joins in. "
