Since 2002, he has been collaborating with Yasmin K. also known as Y-ass. \n\nMusic career:\nChristensen started in 1991 as a music producer and DJ, and had his first success in 1992 with U96 with a techno version of Das Boot. In several countries this song was the first techno song to obtain a number one position. Since 2002 Christensen also works under the name Alex C. and frequently collaborates with Yasmin K. whom he met as a judge on the second season of Popstars. \nAs a producer and/or composer Christensen worked for big artists as Right Said Fred, Tom Jones, *NSYNC, Rollergirl, Marianne Rosenberg, Sarah Brightman, and ATC. \nChristensen represented Germany at the Final of the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow together with Oscar Loya, performing the song \"Miss Kiss Kiss Bang\" finishing in 20th place. \nAlex Christensen's song \"Doktorspiele\" which featured additional vocals from Yass, won the 2008 Eurodanceweb Contest, which were determined by points assigned by a professional jury of disc jockeys, journalists, music producers, webmasters, and radio speakers from all over the World. \nOne of Christensen's well-known produced songs, ATC's Around The World, was later sampled into Chris Webby's La La La in 2009. \n\nPersonal life:\nAlex Christensen is married to Nicole Safft. They have a son. \n\nBiggest hit:\nIn 2007, Christensen released the song \"Du hast den schönsten Arsch der Welt\" (\"You have the most beautiful ass in the world\") in co-operation with Y-ass. It sampled The Soundlovers' \"Run Away\". This song marked an international breakthrough for Christensen. Because the song got high ratings in several foreign dance charts, it was re-released in several other languages. In some countries the melody was adjusted to fit the taste of the local inhabitants. Some of these versions are: \nAlex C ft. Y-Ass - \"Du hast den schönsten Arsch der Welt\" (German - Original) ( English translation ), \nTrasero - \"Lekkerste Kont Van Het Land\" (Dutch), \nAlex C ft. Y-ass - \"Sweetest Ass in the World\" (English), \nAlex C ft. Y-ass - \"Tienes El Culo Más Bello Del Mundo\" (Spanish), \nAlex C ft. Y-ass - \"Tu As Le Plus Beau Cul Du Monde\" (French), \nMr.Vee \u0026amp; Michaela - \"Máš Nejhezčí Zadek Na Světě\" (Czech), \nSläm - Sul On Kõige Kaunim Kann (Estonian), \n\nJasper Forks (2010-present):\nIn early 2010, Alex Christensen adopted the name Jasper Forks to mark a move away from the dance productions he had previously been associated with. He began producing tech piano house, and his first single \"River Flows in You\" made it to the top 10 of the airplay charts all across Europe. The song \"River Flows in You\" is composed by Korean pianist Yiruma. The follow up single \"Alone\" was released in January 2011. One more single, \"J'aime Le Diable\", saw the light in mid-autumn of 2013.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Jasper+Forks","playStationPath":"/stations/357296070/play","stationId":357296070,"bioPath":"/music/Jasper+Forks/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/R+I+O+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/9d2/9d281fe81ca8bb2f9bd0631c4712e49d_md.jpg","artistName":"R.I.O.","artistId":56773,"station_id":260059582},{"musicPath":"/music/C+BooL","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/856/856d9bf80b91b84d901f4144e8fc707f_md.jpg","artistName":"C-BooL","artistId":423889,"station_id":400334746},{"musicPath":"/music/Groove+Coverage","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2a0/2a01d40436dc4d26b1ea20d2c02cdcf7_md.jpg","artistName":"Groove Coverage","artistId":12484,"station_id":113410919},{"musicPath":"/music/Inna","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/787/78700a427796baaa32224e95bc80a824_md.jpg","artistName":"Inna","artistId":56737,"station_id":260058875},{"musicPath":"/music/Markus+Schulz","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/062/0629f2298613703866ffbb342fd48151_md.jpg","artistName":"Markus Schulz","artistId":13734,"station_id":115464338},{"musicPath":"/music/Italobrothers","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/8a3/8a3505ec9dae356b3c8cec9b801d009e_md.jpg","artistName":"Italobrothers","artistId":79788,"station_id":267587804},{"musicPath":"/music/Highland","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/64f/64f245bba842b693b023a52bcbf17e59_md.jpg","artistName":"Highland","artistId":3137,"station_id":116365847},{"musicPath":"/music/DJ+Quicksilver","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/5a3/5a396fb95104045b31d2f2231a3302ac_md.jpg","artistName":"DJ Quicksilver","artistId":83349,"station_id":268892600},{"musicPath":"/music/Alex+M+O+R+P+H+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/4b2/4b21dfeb680f9c99b6f673483c8790c2_md.jpg","artistName":"Alex M.O.R.P.H.","artistId":438500,"station_id":400855230},{"musicPath":"/music/W+W","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/455/4555e6540df881286039b14f68ec65f4_md.jpg","artistName":"W\u0026W","artistId":14020,"station_id":117562493},{"musicPath":"/music/Warp+Brothers","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b41/b41f8454c31ef71fcab8b39b32e4b99f_md.jpg","artistName":"Warp Brothers","artistId":81200,"station_id":268156178},{"musicPath":"/music/Gabry+Ponte","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/bcd/bcd098ec064f26c670bb38733ec5997d_md.jpg","artistName":"Gabry Ponte","artistId":462651,"station_id":401357426},{"musicPath":"/music/Dave202","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/482/482ca58fd52304129e091b0533d2d11c_md.jpg","artistName":"Dave202","artistId":378241,"station_id":396070325},{"musicPath":"/music/Basic+Element","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/24f/24f0b673acf782f5b677844dd3c8e1b0_md.jpg","artistName":"Basic Element","artistId":81167,"station_id":268156144},{"musicPath":"/music/Emma+Hewitt","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/93f/93feedf55d7eb4691034f46205b9b741_md.jpg","artistName":"Emma Hewitt","artistId":165409,"station_id":316836883},{"musicPath":"/music/X+Perience","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/bd5/bd5c74636924c8dc889ad99192a719cf_md.jpg","artistName":"X-Perience","artistId":113689,"station_id":282569476},{"musicPath":"/music/Pulsedriver","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/fcd/fcd9d59523962bd1ca339eccd11d83aa_md.jpg","artistName":"Pulsedriver","artistId":83454,"station_id":268935629},{"musicPath":"/music/Brooklyn+Bounce","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/fc7/fc7d5b59ead6c7391682bad83d33d4b2_md.jpg","artistName":"Brooklyn Bounce","artistId":59288,"station_id":261230081}]}
