Andreas Kümmert
Gravel-throated blues rock that pairs the grit of a basement show with the polish of classic soul. Raw, emotional, and undeniably powerful.

Andreas Kümmert possesses a voice that sounds like it has been cured in smoke and whiskey for decades. It is a massive, tectonic instrument that bridges the gap between the raw urgency of Joe Cocker and the refined soul of the Stax era. His music is built on a foundation of classic blues rock, but it is elevated by a deep, palpable vulnerability that feels entirely modern.
What truly sets him apart is the friction between his technical mastery and his apparent discomfort with the traditional machinery of fame. This tension bleeds into the recordings; there is a sense of a man singing because he has to, not because he wants to be seen. The arrangements are often lush with brass and organ, yet they never overshadow the sheer physical force of his vocal delivery.
Start with 'Here I Am' to hear the full breadth of his power. It captures that specific moment where a singer-songwriter finds the perfect balance between their punk-rock roots and their soul-music destiny. It is music for people who value honesty over artifice and grit over glamour.
Andreas Kümmert (born 20 July 1986) is a German singer and songwriter who is best known for winning season three of The Voice of Germany. He also won Unser Song für Deutschland with the song "Heart of Stone", giving him the possibility to represent his country at the Eurovision Song Contest 2015. However, he declined the opportunity and the runner-up Ann Sophie took his place.
