YU - AUSVERKAUFT

Yu is the up-and-coming artist the German pop scene has been waiting for. Growing up in Troisdorf, NRW, as the son of a single mother, the singer and songwriter already danced and sang alongside street musicians as a toddler before playing music on the streets of NRW himself as a teenager.

Yu was discovered on TikTok in 2022, where he presented his first own songs to a larger audience and filmed himself playing for the waiting fans in front of the halls of his great idol - Alligatoah, one of the biggest German musicians, became aware of Yu and promptly invited him to his "Retour", where Yu was allowed to perform live on real stages for the first time. The young talent was subsequently signed by Alligatoah's management.

Yu's lyrics are socially critical, always filled with a dose of irony and sarcasm. In his songs and on the streets, he fights for justice; his music is intended to inspire reflection and rethinking.

Yu will conquer the German music scene in 2024. In spring, he accompanied "ok.danke.tschüss." on tour and performed at various demonstrations against right-wing extremism. This summer, Yu will play the first major festivals before embarking on his first tour with his sophomore album in winter: the "Yu & You Tour" will stop in ten cities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
