LIVE NATION PRESENTS: ZATE X CED - KOPF VS. HERZ TOUR

In the organizer's words:

Zate x Ced

The two musicians are going on tour together

Minimalist music, mostly just piano playing, rap, vocals and personal lyrics dedicated to vulnerable topics - this musical approach is what unites the music of Zate and Ced. Between moving vocals and sometimes harsh rap, it is the deep lyrics with melancholy piano melodies that go straight to the heart. Their song "Weißt du was Liebe ist" has over 11 million streams on Spotify and has allowed the two singers to grow together into a true dream team. In fact, the sonic visions of the two musicians are very similar at their core, which Zate makes clear with his emotional piano ballad "Du" (more than 18 million Spotify streams), while Ced's top track "Ich spüre nichts" (2 million streams) with its pompous sound design, minimalist piano chords and melancholic approach stands out sonically, but evokes similar feelings. Their first hit together, "Kopf gegen Herz", laid the foundation for a collaborative future in 2018, which will take Zate x Ced on a tour through Germany in December under the motto of their first hit: The Head vs Heart Tour is coming to Hamburg, Cologne and Frankfurt.

Dominic Wettig aka Zate grew up in Neukölln in difficult circumstances and unstable family circumstances and learned early on how to deal with being left alone. Influenced by the loss of his best friend Kristina Hani, who was murdered in 2008 at the age of 14, he wrote songs to deal with the painful loss and his negative experiences. Zate's childhood and youth and the associated grief shaped his music, his lyrics and gave his music great authenticity, which is also reflected in his compositions. Music is the source of his own healing, which has long since rubbed off on his fans since his debut album "It's Zate" (2017) and is now reflected in five albums. Cedrik, who has released three albums to date under his stage name Ced and CedMusic, was already playing with his headset as a child and the desire to turn his feelings into music. Also influenced by his childhood, his first song "Abschied" was released, in which he sings about the pain and hope of leaving his hometown. Like Zate, Ced found a way to heal himself through music at an early age, allowing him to get through the hardest of times. It is therefore hardly surprising that both musicians write emotional and moving tracks together. With five track collabs, including "Kopf gegen Herz" and "Ich kann dir verzeihen", Zate x Ced laid the foundation for many more songs by the duo on Ced's 2018 album "CedMusic Vol. 1", who continue to collaborate alongside their own solo careers. From the deeply personal and stirring song "Panickattacke" (2023), which contrasts a catchy chorus with hard and highly emotional lines, to the single "Alleinerziehend" (2023), which backs the voices of the two with subtle piano playing, modern trap beats and atmospheric synthesizers, Zate x Ced repeatedly address sensitive topics that many of their fans can identify with. The current single "Tat es weh" is also convincing. With honest lyrics, aggressive chanting and symphonic sounds, it proves once again that German rap has nothing to do with expensive cars, women and showing off, but can also have a healing effect through pure passion.
