About the author
Christian Müller, born in 1954, discovered his passion for pop music at a young age. In a home where the radio played around the clock, he grew up listening to the latest hits. He soon developed his own musical taste and enthusiastically followed all the charts on his favorite stations. His interest in the artists behind the music also arose early on. Week after week, he had the latest issue of the youth magazine BRAVO brought to him, which he meticulously studied. No detail was too small for him – he absorbed every piece of information. In 1988, his childhood dreams returned: Müller began searching flea markets for old issues of BRAVO. As his collection grew, his desire to share his accumulated knowledge with others grew. In 2000, he launched his own website – a step that brought him into direct contact with the BRAVO publishing house. For his book projects, Christian Müller was able to engage the renowned music journalist Teddy Hoersch, who supported him as an expert partner until his untimely death in 2023. Today, Müller and his family manage complete archives of several important music magazines – a unique collection that gives him access to an impressive wealth of music history information. In addition to his work as an archivist, Christian Müller is equally passionate about studying art and design, as well as actively learning the guitar and piano.
Outstanding work and a milestone for the music world
The incredible meticulousness and effort that goes into Christian's books cannot be quantified!
The books are a special journey through the musical landscape of the last 60 years. BRAVO!
