KRYSTOF

KRYSTOF is 24 years young and hails from St. Georgen am Längsee, Carinthia. Growing up in an extremely musical family, with his mother being a professional folk-singer, KRYSTOF had creativity in his blood. At the age of 14, he wrote his first song using self-taught guitar chords. In 2016, he started posting cover songs on Instagram, self-promoting his tracks on Spotify and YouTube. The following year, at the young age of 17, KRYSTOF signed his first record deal. KRYSTOF, also known as "Sad Pop Boy," writes and composes all his songs himself. With his debut single as a solo artist, "Tears&Tonic," he reached 20th place on the Austrian Shazam Charts and the iTunes Charts. Radio stations like Hitradio Ö3, Antenne, Welle 1, and Radio Wien have been supporting this young talent right from the start. Through live performances on shows like "Guten Morgen Österreich," at the Klagenfurt Concert Hall, in clubs and at festivals, as well as being a support act for Parov Stelar, KRYSTOF gained early stage experience. In 2022, KRYSTOF participated in a songwriting contest by PROTÉGÉ, where hit songwriter Sasha Alex Sloan (known for writing for artists like Katy Perry, Anne-Marie, David Guetta, Camila Cabello, LANY, KYGO, Martin Garrix) nominated him as a top talent and commented on two of his songs with "I'm a Fan now." His cover of "I'm Good" caught the attention of world-renowned DJ David Guetta. With over 5 million streams worldwide, KRYSTOF already boasts an impressive career.
