Andreas Kümmert

German soul and blues singer-songwriter

Andreas Kümmert is a German singer and songwriter who gained widespread recognition after winning the third season of "The Voice of Germany" in 2013. Known for his soulful voice and blues-inspired rock music, Kümmert had been active in the music scene prior to his television success, performing with various bands and embarking on a solo career. Following his victory on "The Voice," he released a number of albums that showcased his distinctive style, blending elements of blues, rock, and soul. Despite his national success, Kümmert made international headlines in 2015 when he won the pre-selection for the Eurovision Song Contest but then declined to represent Germany, stating that he did not feel ready for such a big step. His decision was met with both support and criticism, but it did not hinder his musical journey as he continued to produce music and perform for his fans.
