Chris de Sarandy
Chris de Sarandy is a British singer and songwriter whose emotive pop sound and soulful voice are turning heads. Born in Surrey and educated in Leeds, he moved to Berlin in search of creative freedom and better conditions to pursue his music. Starting out busking on the streets, his breakthrough came in 2023 with the dance anthem “Cynical”, a collaboration with twocolors and Safri Duo. The track hit No. 1 on the German airplay charts and has since amassed over 130 million streams on Spotify.
With a sharp ear for melody and brutally honest songwriting, de Sarandy proved that “Cynical” was no one-off. After signing with Berlin-based independent label Embassy of Music in 2022, he released several singles and his debut project Know Your Worth. His new single “Rain”, created with Swedish production duo MTHR (Zara Larsson, Loreen), marks the beginning of a new chapter and his upcoming EP. The track reflects on the end of a relationship—but also serves as a personal reckoning: “It started as a letter to an ex, but I quickly realized I was actually writing to myself,” he explains. Chris de Sarandy stands for authenticity, musical depth, and a voice that resonates far beyond the surface—a distinctive artist redefining modern pop with heart and soul.
