He has the voice – the look – and the moves. The incredible music of the British cult band QUEEN is presented by a top-notch live band led by the charismatic frontman Valentin L. Findling, who embodies Freddie Mercury as breathtakingly and authentically as no one else. His voice, look, and moves transport the audience back to the "good old days" for about 100 minutes. Visitors said after the show: "Great compliment! The best Queen tribute show we have ever seen. 👌🏼 So similar, with many goosebumps moments! Thank you for that!" "Your singer is not only close to the original, he sings like the original. Queen could record new albums with him and no one would notice." "As a mega Queen fan, I can only say: you can't get closer to the original! I'm still totally blown away by what you delivered. I hope you come back to our area soon - I will definitely be there again. Thank you for this beautiful and wonderful evening yesterday." "Without exaggeration, that was really something special. Mega show, top band, voice, performance, moves, and appearance strikingly similar, really impressive. Every Queen fan should see this. It was a great evening." "I felt transported back to the good old days." "One could believe Freddie has returned and slipped into his younger self." "When you close your eyes, you hear Freddie – and when I opened my eyes, I thought he was standing in front of me."
Valentin L. Findling as Freddie
Valentin began playing the piano at the age of 5. Even during his first music studies at the University of Music in Würzburg as a scholarship holder, he won several awards, including 1st place at the Frankfurt Steinway Promotion Award in the jazz piano category and the "Sparda Jazz Award Düsseldorf" with his band "BOP." As a singer and keyboardist, his enthusiasm is not limited to jazz; he is also passionate about other music genres. In addition to music productions, Valentin participates in various theater and dance productions, making him a unique multi-talent. Through his love and talent for the arts, he brings Freddie back to life and has already thrilled guests at the OPEN AIR RESTAURANT at Heidelberg Castle in the summer of 2020 with his performances.
