One guitar, one voice, one guy. Ready to conquer the world. With German-language songs from the dunes. Since 2017, frontman Steffen-Ulrich Schöps has been performing under the name Ulrich. "I have three brothers, all of whom have double names. My parents probably thought it would be unfair not to give me one. Even though, in my opinion, they could have chosen a more contemporary one..." But before anyone can hide their inner educated citizen, Ulrich serves it up on a silver platter and promptly gives the name to his musical project. His music sounds emotional, virtuosic, and somehow hopeful. "Extremely emotional, in fact," says the frontman with a wink. "I want to take people with me, tell them my stories. I want them to go home in a good mood and maybe a little thoughtful." Ulrich's songs are created highly intuitively, mostly in Denmark. "I go there about twice a year and let myself be inspired by the fireplace and the dunes."
Inspired by John Mayer, Tommy Emmanuel, and Gregor Meyle, the 27-year-old writes songs about what's important to him: new and old love ("Where You Want," "Pilot"), crumbling relationships ("Unseparable"), friendship, and memories ("Someday"). "Long-term goals, as always, are to become extremely rich with the consequent world domination." That probably means Ulrich is a force to be reckoned with. Good news.
