After reenacting several Hollywood blockbusters starring the Capitol/Vertigo and Polydor/Island team
we have been inspired by Carpool Karoke and filmed Daniel driving around Berlin with Sido, Bosse, Clueso,
Alma, Boss Hoss, Lena and many more. With some of them we have worked many times before and it was a blast once again…
April 2016 – Bayerischer Rundfunk Startrampe with Chima Ede
“Do you want to do another Startrampe Portrait?“ We love this question from the guys at Bayerischer Rundfunk
