Alexander Klaws is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on September 3, 1983 in Ahlen, Ahlen, Germany. Alexander had a typical childhood growing up in Sendenhorst, (Germany) with his parents Richard and Hildegard and older sister Melanie (born 1980). He was an avid soccer player, and still plays soccer on charity teams whenever he finds the time. Alexander’s musical gifts became apparent when he was still in elementary school. He made his first television appearance at the age of 10, performing Haddaway’s “´What Is Love” on a national TV show for children. By the time he was 13, Alexander was already taking vocal and piano lessons to strengthen his voice.
In 2002, Klaws was encouraged by his family and friends to audition for the debut season of the reality television series Deutschland sucht den Superstar. Although he was considered as one of the more inconspicuous top ten finalists at the very beginning of the show, he was able to boost his popularity constantly with standout performances of Robbie Williams’ “Angels” or Michael Sembello’s “Maniac”. Klaws went on to win the competition on 8 March 2003, earning 70.1% of the votes against runner-up Juliette Schoppmann and without being sent into the bottom three throughout the season. Immediately after winning DSDS, Klaws was signed to a record deal with SonyBMG, while jury member Dieter Bohlen was consulted to produce his debut album on the company. On 17 March 2003 his debut single, “Take Me Tonight” was released. The song was performed by Klaws during the season finale of DSDS. The song subsequently debuted at number 1 in Germany and Switzerland. It eventually went on to become the second best-selling single of 2002 behind “We Have a Dream” and was certified quintuple gold by the Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI). In May he followed-up with his debut album Take Your Chance, which saw similar success and spawned a second single “Stay with Me”. At the end of a year he entered the top of the charts again with “Free Like the Wind”, the soundtrack to the German TV movie Held der Gladiatoren.
In March 2005, he recorded and released the duet “All (I Ever Want)”, an English version of the 3 Musketiers theme song featuring vocals from German singer Sabrina Weckerlin. The original version of the duet, “Alles” was released to promote the RTL television film Held der Gladiatoren (2005). The English version of the song peaked at number 12 on the German Singles Chart was later included on his third album, Attention! (2006). Recorded after a short-living hiatus from recording in which she had studied song and acting at the Joop van den Ende Academie in Hamburg, it marked a departure from Klaws’s previous work with Bohlen, who gained no credit on the record. Instead, Klaws consulted a wider range of producers to work with him on the album, including Terri Bjerre, Thorsten Brötzmann, and Ivo Moring, who took his work further into the pop rock genre. Upon its release, Attention! became a top 20 success in Austria and Germany only, prompting SonyBMG not to release another single from the album.
In December 2006, Klaws made his musical theatre debut at the Theater des Westens stage in Berlin in 2006, playing the role of Alfred in the musical remake of Roman Polanski’s satirical horror drama Dance of the Vampires (1967). Following the conclusion of his management and recording contract, he signed a new deal with Cruiser Entertainment which released his fourth album Was willst Du noch?! through Edel Music in April 2008. His first album to be primarily recorded in German, it peaked at number 28 on the German Albums Chart and produced two singles. In 2010, Klaws took over the role of Tarzan in the Neue Flora Hamburg production of the same-titled musical based on the Walt Disney Animation Studios 1999 film of the same name. Running for five years, it closed in 2013.
On 25 December 2003, Klaws participated in the television special competition World Idol in London along the inaugural winners of the several Idol television series around the world. He was contractually obligated to participate, and performed Michael Sembello’s “Maniac”. On 1 January 2004 he finished ninth in the competition.
