You could say that Robert Redweik is the James Dean of German music. Thoughtful, emotional, always in the moment, and never completely free – except on stage, in his music. Therefore, for him, being a musician is not just a dream, but also, in a sense, his liberation. Just as acting is for James Dean. They are both realistic enough to enjoy life. "Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today," James Dean once said. This brings us full circle.
When you ask Robert Redweik about James Dean, you get a surprising answer: "My godfather Franz Xaver was not only like a second father to me, but he also introduced me to music. He was my James Dean, a cool guy, a bon vivant from whom I learned a lot."
