»MR. GRAND PRIX«
HE HAS BEEN HIGHLY INFLUENTIAL in shaping the German music scene
for 50 years. With more than 2,000 songs released and 24 participations in

many. He has worked with countless well-known artists, among them
Polt and Willy Astor. A childhood at Chiemsee, music studios in the attic,
short trips to gambling dens in Paris, the American Dream, the first successes and failures, women, the breakthrough – Ralph Siegel omits nothing
and recounts the turning points and formative moments of his life with
lots of humour. And practically en passant, he writes about half a century
of exciting German and European music history.
RALPH SIEGEL was born in Munich in 1945. He learned to play several instruments
when he was still a child and wrote his first songs at just 13. He is a composer, songwriter, music publisher, producer, and owner of the record label Jupiter Records. Additionally, he is one of the most distinctive figures of the Eurovision Song Contest (»Grand
Prix«) and has so far taken part in the finale of the international music contest with 19
of his compositions. Ralph Siegel has three adult daughters and lives in Munich.
If I look around, I can justifiably claim: so
far, it’s been an exciting, thrilling life
with highs and lows, marriages and divorces, hits and flops that I was allowed
to live with a lot of friendships but, sadly, also a lot of hostility.«
