In the first part of my conversation with Janique Johnson, a renowned TV presenter in Germany, we continue drifting naturally between personal stories, identity, beauty, family and laughter — exactly the way conversations tend to unfold when two people genuinely enjoy each other’s company.

Born in Washington, D.C. to an African-American father and a German mother, Janique moved to Germany at the age of five and grew up bilingually from the very beginning. Her mother made a conscious effort to establish both languages early on — something that would later make arriving and growing up in Germany much easier for her.

We talk about the way we first met, about style and self-expression, about curls and hair journeys, and about the joy and tenderness surrounding the upcoming birth of her daughter. (We filmed this episode end March 2026, shortly before Janique’s due date.)

As it often happens when speaking to friends, the conversation occasionally wanders off into unexpected directions — which, is part of the charm. :-) I named the episode "CROWN" since Janique referred to this very song of mine in another interview - one she took - saying how much she loves the song. It's also another beautiful way to greet her (upcoming) little girl who was born at the beginning of April 2026.

In this episode of Baby Face Talk, I sit down with Manuela Löffelhardt, the artistic director of Phantasialand, one of Germany’s most iconic entertainment destinations. We dive into her journey as a professional dancer, her first steps in show business, and what it really takes to thrive as a woman in the world of performance.

From body image and ballet to the holistic approach to creativity, Manuela shares her insights on tolerance, respect, and beauty in everything, while I connect her story to my song “Compliment”, celebrating the power of recognition and encouragement.

We also talk about the Cologne Carnival, Fantissima, and what it’s like to manage both a team and your own artistic vision in a high-pressure industry. Plus, a few fun intermezzos, including a walk through the Ling Bao Garden winter wonderland, and some behind-the-scenes stories from a lifetime in show business.

If you’re curious about the art of performance, the realities of working in entertainment, or simply love inspiring human stories, this episode is for you.

In the very first episode of BABY FACE TALK, I sit down with my dad for an honest, heartfelt, and sometimes funny conversation about life, family, being a refugee, career paths and everything in between.

We also talk about NO CAPE — a song I wrote for him, and for all the everyday heroes who quietly make a difference without ever wearing a cape. From music that moves us, to stories of resilience and love, this episode is about connection, laughter, and celebrating the unsung heroes in our lives.
