Deine Freunde is a German music group that makes music for children and families. The band was founded in 2012 and consists of Florian Sump, Markus Pauli and Lukas Nimscheck.

History

The story of “Deine Freunde” began more than ten years ago when three close friends – Flo, Markus and Lukas – discovered their shared passion for music. They all shared the vision of making music that was not only fun, but also educationally valuable.

Florian Sump, former drummer of the pop group Echt and known as a solo artist under the name Jim Pansen, now works as an educator in a Hamburg daycare center. In 2010, he went to the studio of Markus Pauli, music producer and live DJ of Fettes Brot, to record a song for the facility. Together with Lukas Nimscheck, who later became the presenter of the Tigerenten-Club, he created the popular song “Schokolade” (Chocolate), which was very well received by children and parents.

Originally, they wanted to call themselves “Rolf Zuckopfnicks” after the children’s songwriter Rolf Zuckowski. But after getting his permission, they finally decided on the name “Deine Freunde”. Rolf Zuckowski even supported the band by founding the label “noch mal!!!”. They made their breakthrough in 2012 with their first album “Ausm Häuschen”. The album was celebrated by parents and children alike and brought a breath of fresh air to the German music scene. The catchy melodies and clever lyrics attracted a wide audience.

In 2014, they were awarded the HANS – The Hamburg Music Prize in the category “Outstanding Hamburg Artist Development”. In 2020, Florian Sump and Lukas Nimscheck took part in the 8th season of “The Voice Kids” as coaches. On February 26, 2021, they released a new edition of their 1993 hit “Alles nur geklaut” together with the a cappella pop group Die Prinzen.

The rousing song “Meine Freunde” is the result of a unique collaboration between the popular children’s band ‘Deine Freunde’ and the talented musician Dikka . This musical collaboration combines child-friendly lyrics with catchy melodies.
