Multi award winning, German born, singer songwriter Claas Phillipp Jambor, has brought his commanding stage presence, engaging personality, world-class musical abilities, infectious pop rock sound and witty authenticity to stages and events across the globe. A much-requested live headline act, with 7 studio albums and numerous hit singles to his name, he has rocked with acts including Skillet, Family Force5, Delirious?, The Hooters, Matt Redman, Sir Cliff Richard and the Newsboys.
His diverse audiences across Europe, The USA, South Africa, the Middle East , Australia and Asia have ranged in size from small private events through to an audience of over one million and have included stadium crowds, club patrons, Major Music festival attendees, Churches, celebrities, MTV viewers…and even the Pope.
Claas’ brand of adventurous art takes audiences on a musical expedition that undresses the human heart. Lyrically intelligent, his music honestly explores themes of love, failure, freedom, pain, faith and betrayal and he skillfully combines these in concert, with truthful storytelling that explores the dual realities of life’s celebrations and challenging defeats.
In Claas’ own words, “ I want audiences to feel like I expressed some of the stories or pain from their lives that they couldn’t and with that new perspective, they might find that they can brush themselves off and try again”.
The combination of these resonating lyrics with his hooky melodies, sense of fun, musical capabilities and extraordinary voice, have seen the German media variously call him a musical “wunderkind”. No stranger to musical comparisons, Claas’ musical versatility has seen him compared to a diverse range of artists from Counting Crows, Fun through to Prince.
His most recent album, „Radiate”, has followed the pattern of success of his previous releases, “Exceptional”, “Alive”, “One Day Recordings” ,“The Piano Album”, “Paradise Lane”, and the self titled album with Funk Rock band: “4 Ugly Daughters”.
Returning to the US, where he spent much of his childhood, Claas and his wife Denise are currently working from their base in Kansas City as an artist in residence at a Vineyard church. He continues his touring schedule while simultaneously focusing on production, collaborative songwriting projects and finalizing his new album, with Grammy award winning producer Tedd. T. in Nashville,
and the next phase of this unfolding global adventure begins…
