Christian M. Gentemann, aka GENTEMAN, is one of the upcoming DJs and music producers in Germany. Born in Weimar in 2004 and raised as the son of a musician, he began his musical journey on the piano at the age of 3 1⁄2. During his school days at an international school, he won prizes at various music competitions with his talent, including the renowned Germany-wide federal competition "Jugend musiziert".
His extensive musical education, paired with his enthusiasm for technology, formed the basis and inspiration for his later work as a DJ and producer. During a visit to the world's most famous music conference for electronic dance music ADE in Amsterdam, the then 13-year-old discovered the company DENON DJ. In an impressive selection process, they selected him as Germany's most promising young talent. Together with talented DJs from the USA, England, the Netherlands and Belgium, he was part of the NEXT-GENERATION-DJ team from there.
16-year-old GENTEMAN then underlined his versatility in the music business and his further development as a producer by founding his own label GENTEMAN RECORDS in 2021 and releasing his first EP "SUMMER 21" with three of his own songs on all digital platforms. Another impressive milestone was not long in the coming, and so, on January 22, 2022 at 10 p.m., at the age of 17, he also started his own weekly radio show “NIGHT GROOVES” on ANTENNE THÜRINGEN/RADIO TOP 40, the largest radio station in Thuringia/Germany.
Whether on air in the radio or live as a DJ, GENTEMAN presents not only his own tracks, which can best be described as melodic/deep house & melodic techno and which have now been streamed over 1 million times in 146 countries, but also draws on a broad international repertoire and offers his listeners the best club and festival feeling, true to his musical motto - DEEP GROOVES. HIGH MOODS!
