Martin Stosch (born 30 July 1990) is a German singer and the runner-up of thefourth season of the television showDeutschland sucht den Superstar (DSDS), the German version ofPop Idol.
Stosch was born on 30 July 1990 inLandshut,West Germany. His parents are Bernhard Stosch and Elisabeth Stosch and he has two sisters, Sandra and Vanessa. Before thefourth season ofDSDS he was to be on a school band, as very good guitarist. Today, he lives inPostau a small township inLower Bavaria.
In September 2006, he attended the show's casting inMunich and inspired the jury with his two songs "Tears in Heaven" byEric Clapton and "Wake Me Up When September Ends" byGreen Day. In the Top 20 shows he convinced the public to vote for him, as he sang the songs: "Home" byMichael Bublé andWestlife's cover of "Mandy". Stosch made it to the Top 10, only to be in the bottom group every week up to his elimination. However, Max Buskohl, who was a favorite to win the competition along withMark Medlock, dropped out of the competition to sign a record contract with his band. Thus, Stosch returned to the show and made it to the finale against Medlock in which he became the runner up.
