Shirin David

In the organizer's words:

Within a very short time, Shirin David has established herself as an icon of contemporary female rap. In November 2023, she will be coming on her first major arena tour in Germany, Austria and Switzerland with her current album "Bitches brauchen Rap" and the new single "Lächel doch mal".

Born Barbara Shirin Davidavicius in Hamburg in 1995, music became a central part of her life early on: Piano, violin and oboe are part of her early musical education, as well as ballet and opera. However, she celebrated her breakthrough far away from classical music and musical theater.

In 2014, Shirin David launched her YouTube channel, which soon became one of the most successful channels in Germany with several million subscribers. She lands a hit alongside Ado Kojo with the Sabrina Setlur cover "Du liebst mich nicht" and sits on the jury of "Deutschland sucht den Superstar" - both long before the release of her first album.

When her 2019 musical debut is announced under the title "Supersize," the buzz is huge. The single "Gib ihm" reaches number one in the German charts, shortly followed by the debut album - no German female rapper had ever achieved this before. In the same year, Shirin David is awarded a Bambi.

The artist collaborates with several greats of the German hip-hop scene - including Luciano, Kitty Kat and Haftbefehl - and continues to set records for her hit singles such as "90-60-111" and "Ich darf das". In November 2021, her second solo album "Bitches brauchen Rap" is released, again storming the charts.

Shirin David is a pioneer and icon of Gen Z: as a contemporary-glamorous but always credible social media sensation, as an ambitious entrepreneur with her own perfume line, label or iced tea creation. A self-determined post-feminist artist who is uncompromisingly conquering her place in the music and cultural landscape.

Her hit single "Lächel doch mal", released in May 2023, is once again a casual critique of chauvinism and patriarchal structures within but also beyond the scene and proves once again why Shirin David is Germany's number one female rapper.

In November 2023, Shirin David will now embark on her first tour, long awaited by fans, with some of the biggest arenas and halls in Germany, Austria and Switzerland on the schedule. To say it with the words of the rapper herself: Let's love.
