**Peter Maffay** is one of Germany's best-known rock musicians and singer-songwriters, whose career has been inspiring generations of fans since the 1970s. Born in Romania in 1949, he came to Germany with his family as a child and discovered his passion for music there. Maffay shot to fame in 1970 with the hit *Du* and went on to create numerous successful albums and songs over the following decades, characterised by an unmistakable mix of rock, pop and German lyrics.
Particularly outstanding is his *Tabaluga* series, a music project for children that began in 1983 and uses the character of the little dragon Tabaluga to convey messages about friendship, courage and overcoming challenges. This story and its musical realisation have achieved cult status and show a completely different, imaginative side of the artist. Maffay is also known for his committed lyrics, in which he deals with social issues and personal experiences, which has earned him recognition far beyond the music scene.
In addition to his musical career, Peter Maffay is strongly committed to social projects. With the Peter Maffay Foundation, he supports disadvantaged children and young people by offering them new perspectives through nature and recreation programmes in his project houses. With his tireless commitment and impressive musical versatility, Maffay is one of the most important artists in the German-speaking music scene.
