AIDER

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. At 6 I played my ukulele at Airport to welcome my grandfather. What began as a small moment turned into a gathering of travelers and shop owners cheering me on. Their smiles and applause sparked my deep love for music, born from that connection. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? J.PERIOD, Nas, Best of Nas [Anniversary Edition] Kanye West, Graduation N.W.A, Straight Outta Compton I love these 3 LPs because they represent different eras and styles of hip-hop that have shaped the genre. Nas' lyricism, Kanye's creativity, and NWA's raw energy offer timeless lessons in storytelling, innovation, and rebellion.

I am a national award winner of "Jugend musiziert" in Germany for pop guitar, and I created my first EP at the age of 16. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Performing live and conveying emotions through music.
