Over time he has become the most well-known German Christian singer songwriter, and has influenced many others.
Siebald has often been compared with the singer-songwriter Reinhard Mey for his style, and sometimes with Graham Kendrick for his influence on Christian music in his country. Siebald gained an international following with his performances at Eurofest '75, the international youth conference and evangelistic crusade which was organized by the Billy Graham organisation in Brussels. In 1972 he published his first solo album, entitled Da steh ich nun. He also brought out his first single – "Meinst du wirklich, es genügt?" – at that time. As early as 1970 he was conducting the Youth for Christ Choir and singing in the Christ Singers. Along with his studies at the University of Marburg he took instruction in harmonisation and singing.
As a child Manfred Siebald learned to play several musical instruments, including the violin, the viola and the piano.
