Short introduction

Xavier Naidoo was born on October 2nd, 1971 in Mannheim and is a successful German soul and R&B singer, music producer and founding member of the group “Söhne Mannheims”.

early life

Born on October 2, 1971, Xavier Kurt Naidoo’s parents are from South Africa. The mother worked as a seamstress, the father as a welder. He grew up in Mannheim and enjoyed a Roman Catholic upbringing.

During his school days, Xavier Naidoo sang in church and school choirs, became a member of a gospel choir and a regional band. He also recorded a CD with the gospel choir. After high school, an apprenticeship as a cook and a few jobs that he accepted, he went to the USA and recorded his first solo album as “Kobra”.

Career

In 1994, when he appeared as a background singer in the Rödelheimer Hartreim project, he was discovered and built up as a solo star by 3p. The single “Freisein”, which Xavier Naidoo recorded with Sabrina Setlur, made him famous.

The first German album “Not from this world” by Xavier Naidoo, which was released in 1998, sold over a million copies. The song of the same name was also released on a Bravo Hits CD. In 1999 he received three well-known and important awards: an Echo, a Comet and an “MTV Europe Music Award”. Other awards followed in the years that followed, such as a second “MTV Europe Music Award” in 2002.

In 2000 the first singles and the album were released by the music group “Söhne Mannheims”, which was founded in 1995 by Xavier Naidoo and other people. This release led to the dispute and the end of the collaboration between Xavier Naidoo and the 3p label.

2002 followed Xavier Naidoo’s second solo album “Z Zwischenspiel – Alles für den Herr”, 2005 “Telegram for X”, 2009 “Everything can get better” and 2013 “At my soul” and 2016 the continuation of his first album “Not from this world 2” . There are also a few albums and singles released by the “Söhne Mannheims”, of which he is still a member today.

Xavier Naidoo was also a juror and coach on the talent show “The Voice of Germany” in 2011 and 2012. He also won the Bundesvision Song Contest in 2012 with Kool Savas. In 2019, Xavier Naidoo was a member of the jury for the show “Deutschland sucht den Superstar”, and he will probably be there in 2020 as well.

Career highlights

The highlight of Xavier Naidoo’s career was certainly his first album “Not from this world”, which sold over a million copies. Even if the following albums all sold well, this brand could not (yet) be topped. In total, Xavier Naidoo has sold more than 4.5 million records as a solo artist, with no end in sight.

Famous quotes

Many quotes from Xavier Naidoo can be found in his songs. But with his political statements – for example in an interview – but also with his actions, he sometimes offends. In an interview, for example, he made a statement that was quoted several times: “I was described as homophobic, as an esoteric crank and as a religious fanatic. I’m just as little right-wing populist in all of that.” For example, Xavier Naidoo filed a complaint against Federal President Horst Köhler in 2010 for high treason and said the following: “He (Federal President Horst Köhler) is said to have been involved in Germany entering the monetary union without constitutional legitimacy.”

tips for success

As a juror and coach on “The Voice of Germany” in 2011 and 2012 and currently as a juror on “Deutschland sucht den Superstar”, Xavier Naidoo gave a number of up-and-coming artists valuable tips.

But here is an important tip from Xavier Naidoo for everyone. This comes from the song “Don’t give up”. “Do not give yourself up. Even if everyone does. Don’t you give up! Because it’s all useless if you don’t believe in yourself.”

Another important tip is to forge alliances and team up with like-minded people. It also comes from a song: “What we can’t do alone, we can do together.”
