The Amplifiers is composed of Tom Olbrich and Philipp Schardt, a highly creative duo whose credits include German gold-status “Nur In Meinem Kopf” by Andreas Bourani  as well as his song “Eisberg”. Recent works such as “Beating Like A Heart” by Bullmeister and the X-Factor Germany 2011 finals single “Build a Palace” by Nica & Joe let us look forward to the upcoming releases for early 2012: Eisblume’s second album Ewig (Universal Music) and Elif (Universal Music), a new exciting artist.
We are very excited to welcome them to the BMG Family and looking forward to this new cooperation.
