Life

Rieger attended the music class of the Burgdorf grammar school.

In 2014, he took part in the casting show The Voice Kids, but did not make it to the finals in the competition.

He worked on building up a fan base through social media. His Instagram account recorded over 1.7 million subscribers in March 2017, and his user account on the app Tik Tok (Musical.ly) over 2.4 million fans. His YouTube channel had over 410,000 subscribers by December 2016, and more than 21 million views of his videos.

Rieger has sometimes been referred to as "the German Justin Bieber", and he has covered the Canadian artist's song "Take You".

A signing session in Ulm in October 2016, after the release of his first album Compass, had to be stopped by police, because some fans fainted. Previously, a similar event in Stuttgart had lured over 2000 mostly female fans. The management then announced that they would no longer be able to organize such "meet-and-greets".

gollark: No good replacements really.
gollark: It's an impressively enduring protocol despite being kind of terrible.
gollark: I run part of a tiny IRC network for no particular reason.
gollark: No, it died to some random person taking it over and driving out most of the volunteers.
gollark: I see.
