Max Prosa

Born in Berlin in 1990 as Max Podeschwig, the German singer/songwriter Max Prosa later dropped his dual studies in physics and philosophy. An application to the Pop Academy in Mannheim proved unsuccessful, yet 2010 brought him a slot in the school’s Bandpool project. Clueso discovered Prosa the following year and booked him as a supporting act on tour. An appearance on singer Ina Müller’s television program Inas Nacht preceded the early-2012 release of his debut album, Die Phantasie Wird Siegen, through Columbia. The record peaked at number 20 on the German album charts, elicited comparisons to Bob Dylan’s early work, and paved the way for Prosa’s first solo tour later that year.
