»I have little to offer you, I think about it, I stay awake until seven« - Kasi is no
show-off, no nerd, nor someone who pretends to be a winner. Generally, he is not concerned with
perfection; rather, he is in search of authenticity. Between youthful naivety and merciless adult
self-reflection, rap, guitar sounds, and singing, going and staying, Kasi consciously allows for
contradictions. He doesn't really have a plan. What is clear, however, is that the constant inner
conflict has shaped him and at the same time made him one of the most exciting new discoveries
that the German music market has to offer in 2023.
But let's start from the beginning. Kasi was born in 2000 in Frankfurt am Main. In the Bockenheim
district of the city, he has been confronted with strong contrasts from a young age. Between Main
Tower and the red-light district, there are always just a few hundred meters. The life between the
worlds Kish internalizes with his first breath - and the affinity for music is also laid in his cradle.
Together with his father, he listens to indie rock and punk from an early age, and soon he can sing
along to songs by Wir Sind Helden or Blink-182 in his sleep. He is just nine years old when he
discovers "Stadtaffe" by Peter Fox. From now on, he becomes more and more interested in rap. The
search for identity between spoken word and guitar pop will shape him - and is by no means
finished to this day. It accompanies him through his D.I.Y.-spirited skater years and into his first
musical attempts, which Kasi undertakes about three years ago without formal training or commercial
ambition and uploads to Soundcloud. In 2021, he moves to Freiburg to study, the urban counterpart
to his hometown metropolis on the river Main.
There, he meets producer and aesthetic brain Antonius - an encounter that represents a turning
point in his artistic work. Together, they create a sound that precisely reflects Kasi's musical
socialization and in which he seems to fully immerse. Upbeat-melancholic indie pop elements mix
with laid-back rap delivery and formless singing melodies - the perfect framework for Kasi's lyrics,
which oscillate between world-weariness and lightness. In their very first joint session, "Boys Don’t
Cry" is created, and with it, the exact song that, after its release, first attracts the attention of big
labels. A small initial hype arises. More and more creative retreats take place in Berlin, where Kasi
shares the studio with star producers such as Tobias Kuhn or Nikolai Potthoff. His career seems to
gain momentum - and that, even though he has never really aimed for it. Perhaps that is the secret
to his success, this straightforward refusal to force a blueprint vision.
Kasi actually goes into his sessions unprepared, writing entirely based on his mood of the day. He
lets himself be carried away, doesn't want to bend to any image. Does every note fit? Isn’t that really
so important as long as the atmosphere is right? As part of "Maybe in a Year," Kasi now makes his
debut with the major Sony Music, with whom he recently signed, in January 2022. In the song, Kasi
makes his inner life transparent, writing a sincere letter to a person who means the world to him
despite a personal rift. Witty wordplay and a soft guitar riff that runs as a constant throughout the
track culminate in a catchy hook that is already circulating prominently on TikTok.
