Karat celebrates 50 years: Claudius Dreilich loves punk concerts!

Berlin-Rahnsdorf, Deutschland - Claudius Dreilich, the 54-year-old singer of the rock band Karat, is the focus of an important anniversary. The band celebrates its 50th anniversary on February 22, 2024, a remarkable achievement that not only shapes the history of the group, but also the personal development of Dreilich. For 20 years now, he has been a front man for a fresh wind after taking over his father's position, Herbert Dreilich, who unfortunately died in 2004

Dreilich, born on September 8, 1970 in Halle (Saale), grew up with his father's music and was fascinated by various music styles early on, including classical and punk. Today he has the habit of setting up records and visiting concerts at home, especially in the punk genre, which is an interesting turn in his musical career. He passionately follows concerts to expand his artistic influences and find new inspiration, even if this is contrasting to the softer sounds of Karat, which, for example, have produced hits like "The Blue Planet" and "You must go about seven bridges"

50 years of carat and the upcoming projects

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the band, not only a new album is released, but also a comprehensive tour that begins on February 22, 2024. Dreilich has been looking forward to these events and sees the opportunity to continue the band's tradition and also break new ground. In April 2005, he presented his first song "For me", which marked the beginning of a creative era for karat.

In order to counter the stress of the upcoming tour, Claudius Dreilich has developed his own methods. He enjoys spending time in nature, going for a walk, resting, reading and hearing radio plays and podcasts. These activities offer him the necessary relaxation he needs in the exciting time of the anniversary.

A look at personal history

Claudius Dreilich's career is shaped by many twists. In February 1987 he and his family left the GDR to start a new life. After various professional stations, including as a hotel specialist and at Ikea, he finally returned to music. In addition to his commitment to Karat, he also composes film music, including for the documentary "With Ikea to Moscow".

Dreilich lives in Berlin-Rahnsdorf today, has been married since 2017 and shows that it is firmly rooted in a harmonious way of life that includes both music and family bonds. The 50-year history of Karat is not only a musical, but also one that is deeply rooted in personal experiences and emotions. The upcoming celebrations will certainly not only be a tribute to the band's music, but also to the memories and the connection between Claudius Dreilich and his father, who founded the legacy of this iconic ensemble.

for the fans and the music world is February 22, 2024 not just a date, but a milestone that celebrates the powerful history of karat and its meaning in German musical life.
