Music like Philipp Poisel

Philipp Poisel /pwaˈzɛl/ (born 18 June 1983 in Ludwigsburg) is a German singer-songwriter.

Philipp Poisel produced music since he was a child when he started to play drums and guitar. He recorded his composition with a tape recorder. He was in the choir but he was criticised so much for his singing that he gave up at the end. After completing his Abitur exam, he wanted to be a secondary teacher of English, Art and Music. However, he was denied to higher education as he failed in the entrance examination in Music.

After numerous trips throughout Europe, Poisel met his future producer Frank Pilsl, with whom he recorded first demo versions of his songs in summer 2006. Poisel also founded his own record label Holunder-Records as he couldn't reach an agreement for contract terms with any of the major labels. In 2007, the famous German musician Herbert Grönemeyer noticed Poisel and signed him to his record company Grönland. On August 29, 2008, Poisel’s debut album Wo fängt dein Himmel an? was released. His eponymous first single, which was released a few weeks earlier than his debut, hit No. 77 in the German Single-Charts. Later the same year, Poisel performed in the opening act for Ane Brun, Maria Mena, Suzanne Vega and Herbert Grönemeyer.
