Blog Entry 23-07-2025 - “I think a lot!
Hello everyone
I’ve been thinking a lot about this blog… and about YouTube, too.
Because here’s the thing:
I’m super active in a private WhatsApp group (still in German for now), where I post videos every single day — sometimes a lot, sometimes just a little. Occasionally even voice notes or short texts.
The 14 people in there keep telling me:
"Chris, please never stop making these honest and relaxed videos. They’re so good."
Apparently, it’s both entertaining and informative to watch a German trying to live in the UK. For example, I’ve already shared in that group how I’m preparing for busking — with a totally WOW and WHOA setup.
The Monty Python line "And now for something completely different" fits me perfectly at this point. And the P9 Trolley, there will be a banner on friday there. And of course my stage outfit :)
WhatsApp just works for me — just open it, press record, GO.
It’s spontaneous, it’s direct.
If I did the same thing on YouTube, you’d probably see 3–5 videos a day, each 2–10 minutes, unpolished, unedited, completely raw and honest.
And of course I can swith to english.
So would that be my way in the future? Intead of Blogs - everything on YT?
And then yesterday my AI, Syndarella, said:"Hey Chris, you’re already creating an ultra tour plan without even realising it — you should share that." - WOAH! She is right
My current plan (so far):
- Fri 25.07 → Birmingham city centre x3 — epic & visible
- Sun 27.07 → more local & charming: Moseley + maybe Digbeth — nice variet
- Tue 29.07 → Coventry — new market
- Thu 31.07 → Wolverhampton — smaller city, less competition
- Sat 02.08 → Stoke‑on‑Trent — unusual, exciting
- Mon 04.08 → back to Birmingham — maintaining the homebase
- Wed 06.08 → Liverpool — big vibes, strong finish
Well… not really a “finish,” more like a kick-off.
And of course — the weather has to play along.
My big official gigs don’t start until September, but I need more — a lot more gigs!
That’s why I’m going out with a completely different setup than anything I ever had in Germany.
I’m not sure if this weekly, cold and emotionless blog post is really enough — while on WhatsApp people are fully engaged with the content. I feel like I should put it on a proper platform — ideally one where I can even post directly to YouTube via some third-party app - insteat of texts.
But I’ll definitely need AI support, because titles on YouTube would have to be AI‑generated — since on WhatsApp I just post straight away, no titles needed.
Edit: Well someone wrote already in Discord: "Then add us all on Whatsapp - hehe"
Problem is, Whatsapp share the phone numbers, so misuse or exploid or hmm use youtube in a different way like was intended, is may my way? - Let me think about it!
Some people even told me they go back and watch all my WhatsApp videos on a quiet day because they’re so interesting.
So this is something I’d really like to discuss with a few of you — because honestly: my life here in the UK has become way more interesting! And soon, I’ll be on tour — even if it’s just busking at first — but I’ll be travelling in the UK!
And I’m sure I’ll experience more of the wonderfully bizarre things that seem to follow me around.
And just to be clear: I’m not a normal singer‑songwriter with a guitar.
My setup is different. Completely different.
I AM DIFFERENT

Even the WhatsApp group said: "Even if you didn’t play a single note — just standing there, people would stop and take pictures and videos of you."
What’s coming is so extraordinary — I can’t keep it secret any longer.
That’s also why I’m going out onto the streets:
To spread my word into the UK.
