Yusuf Sahilli (Record Release Party) + Max Paul Maria (Indie/Berlin)

In the organizer's words:

Yusuf Sahilli - indie pop meets global sound

Yusuf Sahilli is a Berlin-based multi-instrumentalist and indie pop singer-songwriter who combines an impressive range of musical influences in his songs. His voice oscillates between bluesy roughness and romantic melancholy, while his unmistakable style is characterized by global sounds and a boundless musical passion. Deeply rooted in the history of rock, blues and pop, Sahilli reinterprets these influences to create his very own urban sound language.

About the album Lost In A Crowd
On his latest album Lost In A Crowd, Sahilli unfolds a multifaceted musical panorama that combines classical songwriting with orchestral arrangements. Recorded with a string quartet, wind instruments and a live band, the album was produced at the legendary Hansa Studios in Berlin. Mixing was handled by the renowned Richard Wilkinson, who has worked with the likes of Adele and Amy Winehouse.

The songs and instrumentals on the album blend seamlessly into a multi-layered work of art. To realize the diversity of his musical vision, Sahilli brought together an illustrious group of musicians from the Berlin scene, including jazz pianist Johannes von Ballestrem and members of the chamber ensemble Hear Now Berlin.

With Lost In A Crowd, Yusuf Sahilli sets a new milestone and proves that he is one of the most exciting artists of his generation.
