With his music, Berlin drummer and producer MAGRO creates an unusual fusion of acoustically played Jazz and produced HipHop/RnB. His project combines many of his musical influences such as Herbie Hancock, J Dilla and Chris Dave. Having worked with numerous artists as a drummer and producer over the years (including Kenny Wesley, J Lamotta and Stimulus), he has now released his debut album "Trippin", for which he was recently awarded with the German Jazz Prize in the category "Debut Album of the Year". On the album Magro featured some of his favorite musicians and singers - among others Jazz great Kurt Rosenwinkel, the aspiring alternative soul singer Leona Berlin and US rapper TwizzMatic. With his music Magro shows his artistic and creative perspective on today’s world. Magro: “I want to build a bridge between catchy music and the deep elements of Jazz.“ Tours and international festival appearances (including Jazzahead, Tremplin Jazz Avignon, Jazz Al Popolo Rome, Women in Music Festival Zambia and Havana World Music Festival) have taken him around the world.
