Wow. Michael Janz, a BFA Graduate, won the Swiss version of "American Idol" last week!! The show is called "Swiss Superstar" and is in the same format as the American Idol show in the US. Michael grew up here in Kandern and graduated from BFA in the 90s and has been pursuing a musical career ever since. He is part of a band called Beatbetrieb in Germany. They have had some success and have even had a video on MTV. Who knows where this latest success will take Michael. Yes, Michael is a grandson of one of the members of the original Janz Team, who founded BFA. His parents live down the street from us.
