Stefan Redelsteiner, a prominent music manager from Floridsdorf, planned the book presentation of his memoirs "The Problem Bear" in the Vienna Belt Colle Rhiz on June 4. In this work, the 42-year-old reflects on his exciting, also challenging experiences in the music industry. Redelsteiner is primarily known for his cooperation with artists such as Wanda, Nino from Vienna and Voodoo Jürgens, which he discovered and promoted. The Austrian music scene experienced a boom about ten years ago, in which bands such as Wanda and picture book were very well received, which underlines Redelsteiner's influence as a music manager. Krone reports that Redelsteiner addresses both successes and personal and financial setbacks in his memoirs.
In retrospect, he illuminates the painful moments of his career, including the separation of Wanda, which for him was both emotionally and monetarily a drastic event. However, Redelsteiner also went through a remarkable transformation: he turned away from addictive substances and experienced an inner new calibration. These developments, coupled with his experience in the music business, offer interesting insights into the living but often challenging world of music.

Redelsteiner is often titled as the “pop sponsor of Vienna”. His network extends over radio stations, concert organizers and record companies, which makes it an unconventional but indispensable part of Austrian music culture. Particularly noteworthy is his contribution to the development of the German -speaking Popfeuuilleton, which has decisively shaped the music scene in recent years. Since then, the Viennese band Wanda, which is immune to the standards of pop music with their innovative strizz rock, has attracted journalists from all over the world who want to discover the special charm of the texts. Krone emphasizes that Redelsteiner played a crucial role in this development.
With his own publishing house, Redelsteiner has also put his visions into practice. He prefers a casual style, often wears T-shirts from Oasis and acts more as a networker and less than classic managers. This makes him a remarkable figure in a music business that is characterized by pressure and expectations. His memoirs are an honest commitment to the ups and downs of this world and invite you to explore the human stories behind the scenes.insights into Austrian music life
