In November and December he went on tour with Möwengold and played 17 concerts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The tour was again organized by DEAG . His two singles developed into airplay hits. In the German Airplay Charts Conservative Pop he reached seventh place in the annual evaluation with This Beat and second place with Northern Lights . With “Northern Lights” he was number one for seven weeks.

Gross has already received prizes such as the SWR4 Newcomer Award, the SWR4 Music Award, the SMAGO Award and the Ekki Göpelt Young Talent Award.
