Gentleman

Gentleman's career is unique: this Cologne-based musician brought reggae from Germany to the international stage, and for 30 years has been the only European achieving worldwide success as an authentic reggae artist. His new studio album "Mad World" marks another milestone in his journey, bringing him back to his musical roots while advancing his life's work even further.

Gentleman is a fixture of the German music scene: combining international recognition with local relevance for three decades. He is the sought-after vocalist for Beginner's comeback single, tours with Fantastischen Vier, and has appeared in two seasons of the TV show "Sing meinen Song". He has been awarded platinum and gold multiple times and charted in Germany's Top 100 singles more than twenty times. His own "MTV Unplugged" edition alone proves his standing as an international superstar.

Since 1998, when Gentleman lent his voice to Freundeskreis's "Tabula Rasa pt. II" and helped establish it as a cornerstone of the German hip-hop movement, he has been essential to reggae's growth in Germany. His authentic vibe and clear messages wrapped in catchy melodies made him reggae's defining symbol in Germany over the years. The albums "Trodin On" and "Journey to Jah" redefined reggae sound at the turn of the millennium and gave voice to an entire generation. Already recognized in the scene, Gentleman achieved hits like "Dem Gone", "Superior" and "Intoxication" on beats by renowned international producers, becoming a key part of the global reggae movement. His next two albums "Confidence" and "Diversity" reached number one on the German album charts, officially making him a superstar.
