Max Prosa

Max Prosa is a storyteller. His songs and poems are touching, they get under your skin, they highlight issues, they are heartrending and sometimes leave unanswered questions in our minds, but they are also always consoling. Some of his songs became better known long after they were written, such as Flügel, for example, which he already wrote in 2012. A wider audience did not become aware of this song until 2020, when Egon Werler performed it on the talent show The Voice. The theme song for the movie 15 Years, sung by the actor Hannah Herzsprung, is another such example.

Alongside these more major successes, Max Prosa has unwaveringly continued to work on his lyrics and songs for years, performs concerts and stages readings of his poems. He has collected the latter in a new collection called Als wir ein Sternbild waren; the first edition sold out in record time. At his concerts, Max Prosa talks of mothers and sons, kings and thieves and, of course, also touches on the main themes of the chanson: transience, passion and love, always in his own individual way and always in a way that goes straight to the heart.
