biography

Kristoffer Hünecke was a successful tennis player in his youth, was German runner-up as a youth player and number 1 in the DTB rankings. He even trained with internationally known tennis coach Nick Bollettieri and was a double partner of Tommy Haas before a sustained wrist injury ended his professional hopes.

He turned to music, played in the school band, graduated from high school and then joined Freiraum as a guitarist . He also began a commercial apprenticeship in audiovisual media and worked as a tennis trainer. After two years the band broke up. Kris and two other members formed the band Revolverheld in 2002 with a new singer and a new bass player . They became a successful German rock band and had three top 10 albums between 2005 and 2010.

In 2012 the quintet took a break, which Hünecke used to realize a solo album under the stage name Kris . In May of this year he released the song These Days , which he wrote himself using the Steve Miller Band's The Joker and provided it with new lyrics. As a guest singer, he brought in Dante Thomas , who had a summer hit in 2001 with Miss California . Also this day was a successful summer song and 20 weeks held in the German charts. In Germany it reached number 30, in Austria it was even a top 10 hit. The album Whenever I hear this , however, couldn't benefit from it and didn't make it into the charts. In early 2013 he released the single Geflasht .
