-Woody Woodstock-
Before moving to Berlin in September 2021, Woody played for 8 years in his previous band Katze Blau. Their Debut album "Blue Hearts" gained over 500.000 streams on Spotify and they played over 60 live shows in Germany and Austria. Since in Berlin, Woody is working on his solo project, supported by a variety of musicians. Lorenzo D'Alba, Juan de Oliveira, Kaheke van de Pas, N'Dea Smit, Sean Ryner, Tomás Morgan, Freddie Jonassen, Daan Bokslag and José Carlos Galvis have worked with Woody to execute his visions for his songs and live shows. For his visuals and costumes Woody works closely with the swedish designer Johanna Linde. Woody Woodstock combines elements of Blues, HipHop, and Rock. Theatrical Rock-Hop. '’Bright Side’ is supposed to be a lifeline in the darkest hours. A promise to myself to not cave in but to be brave enough to ask for help. If you struggle with mental health issues, you are not alone. Please get help. "There is a bright side of life and it is calling your name".'
-Yetundey-
YETUNDEY has Nigerian and French roots, grew up in Leipzig and through her trilingual upbringing, she now stirs up the rap game in her three mother tongues German, English and French. YETUNDEY found herself in the hip-hop culture in her early youth, especially through dancing. Over the years, she has added rap, singing and more recently music and video production to her creative output. This broad set of skills now enables the Berliner-by-choice to leave no avenue of her diversity and creativity unexplored. She released her first EP "See No Evil" completely independently in January 2018, the second major release, the melancholic EP "Y", followed in 2020. With her EP "Black Friday" in 2021, she rose from the self-destructive ashes like a phoenix and delivers six tracks between hip hop, electro and pop as well as lyrics between satire, social, consumer and scene criticism - often over the top and always with a wink. But YETUNDEY not only proves her versatility with her storytelling and lyrics, she also captivates with her musical spectrum from demanding vocal performances to double-time rap parts. After the release of "April April (String Version)" YETUNDEY is on course for a fourth EP.
-Gunnar Lines-
Gunnar Lines is an alternative reggae band from Berlin. Gunnar Lines is supported by the Mamajambas, musicians who come from all over the world. Founded in 2020 the band has recorded their first album with a 12 piece ensemble. The live band (mamajambas) consist of vocalist, producer and guitarist Gunnar van der Stelt, Vocalist Laura Jimenez, Bassist Michiel Sybers, Vocalist Rebecca Eriksson, Percussionist Sebastian Nunez.
Gunnar Lines started out as a one man live looper project where he would create a band sound by live recording samples and looping these. However the energy of Sebastian Nunez inspired Gunnar to seek a more band orientated sound. Inspired by legends such us: Stick Figure, Sticky fingers, Tash sultana and Kbong the band makes an alternative reggae sound which is unique to the Berlin music scene.
Our goal is to create an ethically responsible way to play reggae and make it part of the Berlin music scene. We are no strangers to street music and play regularly on the streets of Berlin. This to us is the most honest way to see the appriciation of the people. Their positive energy gives us the strength to keep on going with our craft.
