Reiner Kirsten
As a member of the Black Forest family Jäkle, Reiner was already standing on the boards that mean the world as a drummer at the age of 6. This was followed by training on the accordion and later in singing. Besides his job as a telecommunications technician, Reiner Kirsten worked constantly on his musical career. Winning the Swiss preliminary round for the Grand Prix of Folk Music in 1996 meant at the same time the decision to devote himself fully to his career as a singer.
The breakthrough:
Already the album “Schmetterling im Regen” exceeded the boldest expectations. Victory in the qualifying round for the Grand Prix of Folk Music, placements in the Schlagerparade der Volksmusik and the Volkstümlichen Hitparaden on ZDF and ORF, as well as a strong media presence made 1996 a milestone in Reiner Kirsten’s solo career.
