ZARTMANN

In the organizer's words:

ZARTMANN can finally hit the road: he has confirmed another headlining tour with seven dates for November 2024. In addition to Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Cologne, the tour will also take in Leipzig, Stuttgart and Freiburg.

Since his debut in 2021, the Berlin newcomer has proven time and again that he is a force to be reckoned with in the future: his lyrics are intelligent, in addition to the fact that they simply speak directly from the heart and life of his generation, his street flow is elegant and poetic and his content effortlessly strikes a balance between emotional and socio-political.

ZARTMANN'sGerman DIY sound is fed by his signature combination of smart indie rock with urban influences and punk attitude - and a knack for soulful pop moments in the cool underground universe. ZARTMANN feels most at home in the harmony of opposites: Rap and vocals, new wave and pop, indie rock and ballad, parts and hooks.

The Berliner released his first song "2 Blocks" almost three years ago, which was immediately well received - DIFFUS, for example, quickly became aware of the musician, who identifies with the raw capital city scene far removed from Mitte chic. Rappers such as Kasimir1441, BHZ and 01099 are stage buddies - he supported the latter live in 2022 - and have audibly influenced ZARTMANN. ZARTMANN's move to mix street rap with indie turned out to be a stroke of genius: he invented the genre of "Berlin indie rap" with his first tracks. The musician immediately captivates his listeners with the ultimate catchy voice somewhere between Henning May and Peter Fox - and he also has comparable charisma.

ZARTMANN 's popularity grows inexorably with every song he drops since 2021. 2022 sees him play his first festivals. The melancholy track "Ein Anruf entfernt" and the punky Bruckner collab "Schön/Scheisse" followed in 2023 , which the acts released for a joint tour. This was followed in the summer of 2023 by the poppy, uptempo banger "Rotkäppchen " - the single focused on an iconic Berlin drink that, not unlike the track, packs quite a punch. ZARTMANN celebrated the release day with a champagne shower and its own open air at Æden (Berlin, Kreuzberg), which was completely sold out.

The next single "Sie passt nicht nach Berlin" followed in October 2023: To the laid back beat, ZARTMANN flows through the intense *maliik and Drumla-Koop in an uncopyable style and showcased another facet of his range of topics and sounds: he smartly accompanies a protagonist beyond the Berlin bubble, drugs and partying through the song.
