Industrial Hip Hop Star Kelvyn Colt Talks ‘German Angst’
This was a lively and informative Live Session with Kelvyn Colt, a Nigerian/German industrial Hip Hop star who went from law school to arenas and now bringing his dynamic movement to the States. Kelvyn’s latest album, “German Angst,” was just released today, March 17th, and it promises to be another groundbreaking work from this artist.
Throughout his meteoric rise in Europe, Colt has entered the Global Top 40 charts over 69 times, with songs charting in Germany, The U.K, Nigeria, and Turkey to name a few.
Kelvyn’s unique sound is a product of his exposure to a diverse range of musical experiences, spanning Techno and Hip Hop. He has built a loyal community around his music and employs a marketing strategy that hearkens back to the days of the “Street Team.” He uses an inclusive measure that ensures even those not financially able to catch some merch or buy a ticket can earn them by participating in fun promo missions. It’s a great story and I can’t wait for you to hear him explain it.
In our conversation, Kelvyn reflected on his journey as an artist, sharing his perspective from the inside looking out. He spoke about the powerful moment when he found the courage to move to his own beat as a creative and entrepreneur, which led to him exiting his major label deal with Sony and buying back his entire catalog. It’s an inspiring story of perseverance and determination as he details leaving Germany and staying on couches in London as he took this leap.
One of the most in-demand artists in Europe, Kelvyn Colt has been featured in countless magazines articles and performed around the world including Complex, Billboard, GQ, Vogue, High Snobiety, and Rolling Stone, in addition to successful partnerships with luxury brands like Cartier, Mercedes, Levis, and Prada. His awareness and analysis of the world around him and how he applies that to his movement is the stuff of conversations not interviews and that’s what our time talking turned into…Tune In Below!!!
Kelvyn Colt has an impact
Kelvyn’s previous hits, such as “Bury Me Alive,” “Love & Hate,” and “Moon,” have garnered critical acclaim and widespread attention, including a mention on Forbes‘ prestigious 30 Under 30 Europe list. One of his breakout moments was an appearance on “A Colors Show” which has netted 10 million views. He performed a joint called “Bury Me Alive” and blew the roof off.
With his new album, “German Angst,” Kelvyn continues to push the boundaries of industrial Hip Hop and cement his status as one of the most exciting young lions in the industry. I can honestly say, I believe in this artist and look forward to discussing him consistently as someone who contributes mightily to the fabric of music AND refuge for some loners…he’s a special dude.
German Angst is a full-bodied project with all the bells and whistles…party, reflection, clever and witty bars, amazing production…did I say party?! Yeah, I did…Check it out below and let us know your thoughts in the comments! 4/5 from me btw.
