Biography
Spaceman Spiff is the stage name of Hannes Wittmer, a German singer and songwriter born in 1986 in Würzburg, Bavaria.
Hannes Wittmer grew up in a village close to Würzbug, the city where he began sport studies. He quit those to move to Hamburg, where he started working in the music industry. His first album, "Bodenangst", was released in 2009, first with Retter des Rock Records, before it was rereleased with a municipal label, under the pseudonym Spaceman Spiff. It comes from the characters Calvin, from Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson, who often daydreams and fantasizes about being Spaceman Spiff.
In 2010, he releases a split album along with Finn-Ole Heinrich, "Du drehst den Kopf, ich dreh den Kopf", which gathers stories by Heinrich and songs by Spaceman Spiff. That same year, he receives the music price Krach und Getöse. His second solo album, "und im Fenster immer noch Wetter", is released one year later, in 2011. After a longer break, his third album, "Endlich Nichts", is released in 2014 with the label Grand Hotel van Cleef.
