Musical career

In 2007 Schmitti composed and wrote the old North German folk song from 1910 You, you lie in my heart to a modern hit. Schmitti's treasure, mer fiere Fastelovend was published on some carnival compilations, for example B. on the double CD sampler Carnival Hits in the Mix . Schmitti wrote the song Himmlisch jeck in 2008.

Schmitti also received in 2008 from Heinz Erhardt composer Erwin Halletz and Beco Verlag the approval to rewrite Heinz Erhardt's famous piece of music, Always when I'm sad, to add an extended special text and to publish it as a modern party hit. The song was released in 2008. Schmitti also recorded the motto song of the Cologne Carnival 2009: Our Fastelovend - Himmlisch jeck and released it on MK Records.
