Hey, I’m famous!

Christin Henkel has a weakness for procrastination, a tendency to fall in love and a penchant for black humour. This young cabaret artist is highly talented but there lurk on the other side of her music the many occasions she’s opened her mouth and put her foot in it. In ‘Hey, I’m famous! Nah, not really…’ she tells of her difficulties in finding herself, of the bizarre goings-on in the music business and about how a recording company tried to make her into another Helene Fischer. But now she has something nobody can take away but everyone wants to get their hands on: her first album.

Christin Henkel

Christin’s childhood was played out somewhere between the woods, the outdoor lido and music school. After leaving school she left Thuringia for the arty life of Berlin and then, five years later, it was time for Munich and the study of composition. But whether at music school, the academy of song and poetry, or on the Hamburg pop music course, Christin always joined in but never felt fully joined up. It was 2013 when she first realised what she could do with her unquestionable talent – she won a number of Song Slams, toured up and down the land and recorded her first album.
