Marian Heim grew up with an affinity for making music. As a teenager, he found freedom tinkering on the drums and teaching himself to play piano. A smattering of tracks released on social media and local concerts in his hometown of Schorndorf led him to score his first hit single with rapper Cro, “1975” at the age of 19. A poetic rapper and songwriter, he anchors hazy pop beats with candid couplets—a dreamy vibe that serves as a backdrop for subtle lyricism. Meanwhile, MAJAN’s rhythmic cadences and raw vocals make each song shimmer insistently.
