KARL269 is an artist from Duisburg, Germany. The 269 in his name stands for the Post Code of the Southside of his City. As a teenager he played the Guitar in a Rockband with his Friends. "It were fun times, we had a couple of gigs at birthday or so and always jamed in my mothers basement" he says. A few years later he started freestyle rapping in his friendgroup. In 2017 he met the young Producer "SKiRE" and together they started to do tracks. SKiRE later inspired KARL269 to keep pushing with his dream of making music better than other people who rap in Germany.
