Is it true that your parents gave you a Michael Jackson cassette at the age of three? Looking back I can say it was the best school of my life! and didn’t finish till close to midnight! That’s how I learnt to work hard and communicate a lot with people. I was usually the leading man at 17, as the youngest in the team. There was a show every evening: the Michael Jackson show or the Falco show. It was also the first time I had to demonstrate that I could stand up and talk in front of people. That was the first time I ever met anyone from Germany. I was living in Mallorca, and had learnt Spanish and Catalan at school. You first tried your luck as an entertainer at the Robinson Club – that was your first job. My parents always taught me not to do anything that didn’t make me happy.

He’s done so much: he was editor-in-chief and weather man at Radio Bremen, a background singer for Roy Black and the ‘Melitta Man’ in the coffee adverts.

Yes, as it turned out, it wasn’t such a bad thing that I dropped out: I had no other option but to make music. You have carved out a fantastic career for yourself… It does involve a lot of luck and lots of hard work, though. Of course school is important, and I would always advise my kids to do their Abitur. My parents are musicians and I wanted to do that, too. It was always clear to me that I wanted to be a musician. You dropped out of school just before your Abitur. After all, I grew up in Mallorca, where you can only go at 110 km/h. I’m a relaxed driver – racing around is not my thing. There’s a one-year probationary period, but I’m very confident that it’ll all work out. I’m so happy with my new Mokka!īut you’re still on probation, so to speak, as a new driver? There are two charging stations right outside my front door in Berlin. But I’m also concerned about the environment, and when the enquiry from Opel came along about becoming the campaign ambassador for the new Opel Mokka, of course I was happy there was an emission-free electric version. I never wanted anything other than an SUV. I’m pleased that I can drive at long last. Well, I’ve only had my driving licence for a month and a half. You’ve brought out a new album, you’re on the jury for the casting show ‘The Voice of Germany’ and most recently you’ve even become the campaign ambassador for the new Opel Mokka. Da-Nos feat.Nico Santos, one of the most successful singer-songwriters in Germany and campaign ambassador for the Opel Mokka, talks to us about his childhood in Mallorca, what he has learnt from Helene Fischer and why the Opel electric car is the perfect car for him.Ĭongratulations, Nico!
