Christin Nichols

While others were still playing with blocks at nursery school, Christin Nichols was beginning her ballet training. The German-British actress and musician has never lacked ambition or self-confidence. After graduating from high school, she attended the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts and later also the Renaissance Theatre and the Volksbühne Berlin. Still not artistically fulfilled, she pulled a debut album out of her sleeve three years ago with ‘I’m Fine’ (2022), which instantly became a favourite of the local arts pages. In the same year, she also played in Hamburg for the first time. The mixture of indie and alternative rock – refined with synthpop and post-punk – is so original that the busy all-rounder can hardly escape requests from all areas of culture. TV appearances follow concerts, enthusiastic reviews of her music follow engagements in the art of dubbing. It became immediately clear to the press and fans that her follow-up album, ‘Rette sich, wer kann!’ (2024), is nothing less than a masterpiece of contemporary indie music that lies somewhere between rock, synth-pop, and post-punk. Now, with ‘Unsterblich’, not only has a brilliantly stylish new single been released, but so too has the harbinger of her eagerly awaited performance here in Hamburg.
