After the big Corona scandal surrounding Michael Wendler, his ex-manager Markus Krampe now has a new protégé. This should now close the “huge musical gap”.
Germany / Florida – For almost a year, pop singer Michael Wendler * (49) has no longer made headlines with hits like “No matter”, but almost exclusively with strange statements about the corona pandemic *. It also has an impact on the people who used to work with him in the music business. Ex-manager Markus Krampe (44) has now made a special announcement on Instagram, RUHR24 * reveals.

Michael Wendler: Ex-manager Markus Krampe does not believe in the music comeback of the pop singer
In mid-2020, Michael Wendler seemed to be surfing a wave of success that was almost unparalleled: Wendler and his wife Laura Müller (21) had bagged several advertising deals * on social media and on TV and also got an XXL contract with RTL. This should bring the Wendlers engagements in several TV shows and a decent sum in their account by the end of 2021.
After the scandal about his DSDS exit and the related dubious statements about the corona pandemic, all deals are history. Ex-manager Markus Krampe is certain on Instagram: Wendler has “probably said goodbye to the music business for good.”

Wendler’s withdrawal from the TV and music industry also has an impact on the people who used to work with him. For example, ex-wedding planner Timo Berger is still waiting for payments from Michael Wendler in the amount of almost 30,000 euros *.
And also ex-manager Markus Krampe was apparently stunned shortly after Wendler’s sudden exit from DSDS in several RTL interviews. After several failed attempts to “get the singer back on track”, music expert Krampe finally threw in the towel as Wendler manager * in mid-November 2020.

In the meantime, the music manager seems to have recovered from his “shock” – but he also says: “Despite all the antics, one must recognize that (Michael Wendler) leaves a huge musical gap in the field of danceable discofox and pop hits.” , said Markus Krampe on Friday (August 20) in an Instagram post.
But the manager already has plans for a “Wendler replacement”: After Markus Krampe has already signed singer Michelle, he now wants to make a DSDS participant big. Norman Langen (36), who placed seventh in “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” 2011 and is also a pop singer, should close the “Wendler gap”.

Markus Krampe: Wendler producers should now make music for DSDS participant Norman Langen
According to Krampe, the course for Norman Langen’s future wave of success has already been set: “It is (…) not by chance that Tom Marquardt of all people, who at the time was responsible for Michael Wendler’s songs as composer and lyricist, is now also responsible for Norman will write and together with Michael Dorth, producer and inventor of the ‘Wendler Sound’, we will guarantee an absolute catchy tune, ”writes Markus Krampe on Instagram.
Krampe himself is also “madly looking forward to the new challenge and a successful collaboration.” The Michael Wendler case shows that Markus Krampe does a very successful job as a manager (more celebrity news from NRW * on RUHR24).
“When I took over the management from Michael Wendler over a year ago, I had to do a lot of persuading and convince many record bosses and broadcasters that the whole thing could be successful. As you have seen – until Michael Wendler voluntarily resigned from ‘DSDS’ – it worked out quite well ”, said the manager in November 2020. Hopefully he will be spared a similar Wendler drama with Norman Langen. * RUHR24 is part of the IPPEN.MEDIA editorial network.
