Alper’s story reads like the quintessential tale of the 21st century artist: Raised on Michael Jackson records in a small town in northern germany, he embraced music as a means to overcome his angsty teenage years. When his first SoundCloud release suddenly became an overnight hit, it was time for the timid boy to step into the spotlight. He finished school and followed his brother to Berlin, where his talent really started to flourish: With virtually no promotion, he has released seven songs since 2020, steadily growing his fan base and gaining significant traction on streaming platforms. Alper’s warm, compelling voice tells stories of love in a cold city, big dreams and desperation. A defined taste for contemporary sounds, combined with his singular songwriting skills and charm make him one of today’s most promising newcomers, who’s final breakthrough could be just a minute away. ~ Vincent Ancot
