About Me


"Music is everything I am."
Christian Illi writes songs with such epical-explosive intensity and pure authenticity that you will be left in sheer amazement. The just 20 year old songwriter sings songs about love, adolescence and human relationships which explore niches in the emotional landscape that you have not dared going to alone. As long as you want to feel alive - as long as you want to feel hope - there is no escape from this voice. Ron.Flieger / Nov 2008
Christian Illi schreibt Songs voll roher, minimalistischer Energie und episch-explosivem Ausmaß zugleich. Mit erstaunlicher Authentizität und derart ansteckender Emotionalität singt der gerade mal 20-jährige Multi-Instrumentalist über Liebe, Erwachsenwerden und Zwischenmenschlichkeit, dass der Zuhörer sofort in seinen Bann gezogen wird. Derzeit arbeitet Illi mit Produzent Ron Flieger in München an seinem Debutalbum und spielte unlängst bereits in Liverpool seinen ersten Übersee-Gig. Dort, wo die legendären Beatles Ihren Ursprung fanden, stießen Christians emotionale Popsongs sogar beim verwöhnten englischen Publikum auf große Zustimmung, so dass die lokalen Zeitungen ihn schlichtweg als den "hübscheren Pete Doherty" feierten.
