About

Thomas Anders
“You’re My Heart, You’re My Soul” alone reached No.1 in 81 countries. Worldwide CD sales of Modern Talking and
of Thomas Anders’ solo works have now topped the 125 million mark.
Thomas Anders has received more than 420 gold and platinum records and numerous awards for his artistic
achievements, including the “Bambi”, the “Goldene Europa”, the “Goldene Kamera”, the “ECHO”, the “World Music
Award”, the Golden and Silver “Bravo-Otto”, the “Golden Lion” from Radio Luxembourg and many more.
Despite his triumphant success, Thomas Anders is constantly looking for a new challenge. As a serious and
professional entertainer he does not stand still.
The worldwide success he enjoyed with Modern Talking was followed by the release of many solo albums in
Germany and abroad. His most recent solo pop album “STRONG” sold over 1.000.000 copies in Russia alone and
immediately went platinum.
In his most spectacular music video “Stay With Me”, a solo track from his album “STRONG”, he performed in the
role of James Bond in true 007-style.
In 2011 he joined musical forces with Uwe Fahrenkrog-Petersen, who has successfully produced and composed
some of the top hits of famous German singer NENA. Their album “Two” shot to number 11 in the album charts and
for a brief period the “Gentleman of Music” musically transformed himself into a “Gigolo.”
After releasing more than 25 albums, Thomas Anders fulfilled his long-standing dream to record his first Christmas
album in the style of an American Songbook. Just like its architect, “Christmas for You” was a multi-faceted
kaleidoscope. New, yet traditional and international yet private, this was a work that reflected the very essence of
the artist himself.
In 2016 Thomas Anders followed up with another successful album. HISTORY pays homage to his time as part of
the most successful German pop duo ever – Modern Talking. The album follows the wishes of many fans and
reflects his live concerts from all over the world.
In spring 2017 came a big surprise! Thomas Anders is to sing in German.
“Pures Leben” Pure Life is his first German-speaking album, showing his attitude towards life in all its unbridled
glory. The album succeeds in allowing the listener to experience a multitude of varying, everyday situations and
moments through his individual songs. With a little twinkle in his eyes Thomas Anders sings about things that really
matter in life. For this album he has worked together with some of the most successful German songwriters.
(Helene Fischer, Howard Carpendale and Udo Lindenberg.)
After singing in English for so many years, Anders had to focus on doing the same from scratch in his native
language. He dealt with important phonetics and asked himself the most important question: Where do I stand
with my age?! In working together with his producer Christian Geller, Anders has found a way to deliver his new
and catchy pop songs to his audience in an authentic and convincing way.
In succession, the second German-language album “Ewig mit Dir” appears in 2018. With Christian Geller, he
develops further songs that reflect his energy and joie de vivre. That is exactly what Thomas Anders would like to
pass on – without any frills, sometimes profound. The song “Das Leben ist jetzt” radiates with great directness that
we should not waste time, enjoy the moments and live in the here and now. A joint production by him and Florian
Silbereisen brings together two great colleagues and friends: “Sie sagte doch sie liebt mich” tells a crazy story
straight from life.
This project gave rise to the idea of continuing to spin this story. Together with the next single “Sie hat es wieder getan”, this is finally the beginning of a joint album by Florian and Thomas. Due to a pandemic, “Das Album“ is not
released in March 2020 as planned, but in June and establishes a close collaboration with Germany’s most
successful entertainer. 26 sold-out halls at the nationwide Schlagerfest by Florian Silbereisen in spring 2020
document the absolute enthusiasm of the fans. His participation in these shows, spells Thomas Anders that this
way was the absolutely right decision. The star now comes a great deal closer to his German fans. It happens what
was his wish for so many years. Music connects and music keeps alive.
2021 back to the Fanbase
After his successful duet album with Florian Silbereisen, Thomas Anders is once again dedicating himself to a solo
project and in the spring of 2021, with his album “Cosmic”, he will answer the long-awaited wish of his international
fan base – finally, an album in English again. The song “Cosmic Rider” sounds just like a song has to sound to make
the heart of die-hard fans beat faster: On the one hand, 100% the classic Modern Talking sound, but this was
consistently thought out and transported into today’s time. The track was again produced by Christian Geller, who
was also responsible for the duet album with Florian Silbereisen.
The thoroughbred musician with a treasure trove of experience
After 40 years in the music industry, Thomas Anders continues to excite and enthuse the music world as a solo
artist. His fans cherish his fascinating charisma and the stylish intimacy he shows in his concerts. They love the
feeling and mood he comes across with in his songs.
Thomas Anders is a musician through and through with a wealth of experience in the entertainment industry. He
has been on stage for more than 40 years and made his first TV appearance 35 years ago in a popular German
show. After that his career consequently went in one direction – up! His concerts took him all over the world –
from Cape Town to Hong Kong, from Tel Aviv to New York, from Santiago de Chile to Moscow. Toronto, Hanoi,
Prague, Berlin, Budapest, London, Washington, Los Angeles, the list is endless…
To this day Thomas Anders remains the only international star to have performed twelve times at the historic
Kremlin in Moscow, the Russian equivalent of the Royal Albert Hall. It goes without saying that he sold out on each
occasion.
Thomas Anders is a star who is able to present himself in a number of different ways. From powerful concert
performer to confident show presenter, he is equally at home at galas or soirées where he is known for his elegant
and personable appearances. He takes his audiences on an impressive musical journey through time by presenting
the countless hits of Modern Talking and many other world famous pop classics. Yet no matter where Thomas
Anders performs, he will always be “The Gentleman of Music”.
