Johannes Strate

Best known as the frontman of German quintet Revolverheld, Johannes Strate also went on to forge a solo career that eschewed his more familiar heavy emo-rock influences for a more acoustic-driven singer/songwriter sound. Born in Worpswede, Bremen in 1980 to a guitarist father and pianist mother, he formed his first band, Second Floor, at age 14, which later landed a record deal. In 2002 he teamed up with Kristoffer Hünecke, Niels Grötsch, Jakob Sinn, and Florian Speer to form Revolverheld, who went on to score three Top Ten albums before Strate also began to pursue a solo projects. After working with Berlin based producer Philipp Steinke, he released his debut album “Die Zeichen Stehen auf Sturm” in 2011.
Revolverheld got back together the same year and started working on their next album “Immer in Bewegung”, which came out in 2013 and sold more than 400k copies. They did an MTV Unplugged two years later, followed by a sold out Arena Tour. Their latest album „Zimmer mit Blick“ came out in 2018.
In 2020 the band released a Single called “Leichter” & in March 2021 they released a song called „Abreißen“.
