True Colours

Kings & Queens

Fritz Kalkbrenner grew up in Berlin, shaped by the city's transformation after the fall of the Wall. Immersed in the electronic scene through his brother Paul, he found his voice in 2003 on Sascha Funke’s Forms & Shapes before making history with Sky & Sand—the iconic track from Berlin Calling that became a generational anthem.

His solo career took off with Here Today Gone Tomorrow (2010), blending deep house beats with his soulful, melancholic vocals. Chart-topping albums like Sick Travellin’, Ways Over Water, and True Colours solidified his status as a global electronic act, with hits like Back Home and Kings & Queens dominating airwaves.

Always evolving, Fritz explored instrumental sounds on Drown (2018) and launched his label Nasua Music. His recent releases, Moments Gone and Waiting for the Sun, further showcase his ability to merge deep house grooves with pop sensibility. In 2024, he joins Virgin Records / Universal Music to release his latest album, Third Place, marking another milestone in his ever-expanding legacy.
