German alt-rock band I Am Jerry was formed in 2008 by brothers Julian and Timm Kleinert along with friends Feras Kaddoura and Leonard Müller-Klönne. Over the coming years, the Sprockhövel natives slowly developed their sound, incorporating anthemic rock, hip-hop beats, electronic indie, and other elements into their music. Their national profile gained a major boost in 2011 when they won the popular Rock am Ring festival. By 2014, they had signed on with Warner Music Germany, which eventually released their debut album Habicht in 2016. ~ Timothy Monger
