Singer/songwriter Philipp Poisel was born on June 18, 1983 in Ludwigsburg, Germany. Poisel's debut album, Wo Fängt Dein Himmel An?, was released in 2008, with the title track serving as the record's first single (which managed to reach number 77 on the German charts). After touring as an opening act with Maria Mena, Suzanne Vega, and Grönemeyer, Poisel went back to the studio to record his sophomore effort, Bis Nach Toulouse, which was released in August 2010, reached number eight on the German album charts, and was awarded gold three months later. One year later, Poisel contributed the song "Eiserner Steg" to the soundtrack of Matthias Schweighöfer's hit comedy What a Man. ~ Christian Genzel
