Originally I come from a small suburb of Stuttgart in the southern part of Germany. Two years ago I moved to Berlin and all my artistry is created here in the capital.
2. What is your background musically?
I think my background has a very stereotype character, in that music was handed to me by several people, when I was becoming a teenager. The first record I bought was Dr. Dre ' sā 2001ā, with which I was able to connect and it was definitely a milestone for me to get in touch with this certain genre of music.
Growing up and having people with different influences surrounding me, my preferences for music widened as well. Nowadays I would count in acoustic, pop, electronic and alternative music, besides hiphop, to my sources of inspiration.
3. Who inspires you and your music?
To me there are three levels of inspiration. I actually come from writing music and making use of words. From this perspective, lyrics and their imaginary potential are very important to me. As well as great raps and flow patterns that supply me with input and make me want to proceed and to work hard. On the other hand there is the musical sphere. I would say it is less the artists ' characters or images giving me inspiration than their actual songs and sound designs. In that way many different artists of very diverse types of music, are able to touch me with their understanding and their performance of music.
The last aspect consists of environmental means. Experiencing and observing everyday situations, being surrounded by inspiring people as my family is and outstanding personalities, like to me Steve Jobs was, do have a huge impact on my artistry.
