Trivia

Frahm is known for playing a classical instrument, but that does not mean that his music has not had an impact on pop culture. One of his most well-known songs, "More," was featured in a games.com trailer for the video game Assassin's Creed Unity.

Singer

It makes sense that Nils Frahm was drawn to music. His father worked in the music business, designing album covers for ECM records. He grew up in Hamburg, which is a city known for producing famous composers. He also had an incredible music teacher, Nahum Brodski, who not only taught him to play the piano, but was also the last living student who studied under Tchaikovsky. Frahm became exceptionally adept at the instrument, but he eventually developed his own unique style that exuded a more contemporary sound and feel. Frahm has written several popular songs for the piano, including "Wintermusik" and "The Bells." In 2011, he released his first album, Felt, and he has since released three more full-length records. Throughout his still burgeoning career, Frahm has become known for his skill with musical instruments, learning to play more than five in a loop without using a loop machine. He also has a piano that was designed specifically for him.

Breakthrough

Frahm rose to fame when he released his first full-length record. The album, Felt, was released on the London-based label Erased Tapes, and it reached audiences worldwide. Not only was it enjoyed by music lovers internationally, but it was also exceptionally well-received by music critics, who touted Frahm's high skill level.

Hit Albums

Frahm has released three full-length records, each of which has garnered increasing acclaim and attention. His debut album Felt was met with a significant amount of success.The follow-up to his debut, Juno and Screws, came out in 2012. Juno Reworked was released by Frahm in 2013, and his most recent album, Spaces, is touted for its experimental and unique sound.
