Ferdinand Sarnitz (born: December 17, 1988), better known online as Ferdinand fka Left Boy,[1] is an Austrian singer and producer. He is mostly known for his song Sweet Dreams (Sky like Dreams).[2]
History[]
Sarnitz was born on 17 December 1988 in Vienna, Austria to Austrian musician André Heller and Sabina Sarnitz. He attended the American International School of Vienna and graduated in 2007. Sarnitz spent much of his free time at school rapping. At the age of 18, Sarnitz went to New York City to study audio engineering at the Institute of Audio Research for a year.[3] After living in his hometown Vienna for a short while, he moved to Brooklyn to live in a shared apartment with two directors, a producer and a photographer.[4][5]
In December 2010, Sarnitz released his first mixtape, The Second Coming, for free download. In mid-2011, he started making music videos for all of the songs.[6] Sarnitz often uses samples for his English songs which haven't been released for usability which is why an official sound carrier couldn't be released.
In 2015, he rapped in the Official Theme Tune for the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 "Building Bridges".
