Bausa | Tournado 2026

In the organizer's words:

BAUSA | Tournado 2026

There are rappers and there is BAUSA. Who else delivered the first diamond hit in German rap with "Was du Liebe nennst" - only to release the next summer anthem in 2023 alongside badchieff and SIRA with "9 nach 9", which stayed at number 1 in the German single charts for a whole six weeks and has since been awarded triple platinum for more than 140 million streams? Who else tore up the stages in 2023 with their indoor and arena tour in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, only to win over millions of viewers the next time they were on prime time on ProSieben's "Schlag den Star"?

BAUSA is without question one of the most successful and influential artists of our time and a born entertainer. With hits for eternity. With a grating voice like after three big packs of Marlboro Red and a liter of whiskey. But also with charm, self-irony and a musical genius that is second to none. Anyone who has been there when the 35-year-old has sat down at the piano or picked up a guitar will immediately recognize the exceptional talent of this jack-of-all-trades - whether as a rapper, singer or songwriter, composer, producer or active label boss at Two Sides, where he himself takes on A&R and scouting activities at the Sony joint venture. He lives for music like no other - because he can't live without it.

But how did Julian Otto become BAUSA, one of Germany's most influential spoken word artists? The focus is on Bietigheim-Bissingen, a small Swabian town - also a rap metropolis and home to BAUSA, an artist for whom genre boundaries are unknown. His influences come from hip-hop, R'n'B, soul, funk and his affinity for electronic music. In short: a colorful mix of urban pop sounds. You have to be aware of this if you want to understand the artist. The artistic skill, the irrepressible desire to show everyone. An urge and a drive that runs like a common thread through the 35-year-old's discography.

His debut album "Dreifarbenhaus" was already an ingenious balancing act between rap and pop, megalomania and melancholy. Less than a year after the top ten success, he followed it up with the mixtape "Powerbausa" - a musical playground where everything was allowed. With the second album "Fieber", BAUSA opened a new chapter in his career: stylistically more open, thematically more personal and musically more versatile than ever, it was an album that left the genre boundaries of hip-hop far behind and showed an artist who simply does what he feels like doing.

The complete turnaround followed in 2021 with "100 Pro": An album that stood for BAUSA's unconditional and uncompromising approach like no other release to date. With 100% dedication and attention to detail and 100% focus on rap and hip-hop. With "Der Letzte macht das Licht aus" last year, they finally went back to the roots: personal content on instrumentals that couldn't be more musically varied.

At the same time, BAUSA proves that he is not only convincing at album length with new collabs - from US mega-producer Diplo or Bietigheim buddy RIN to Summer Cem and Bonez MC, for which he has been awarded a total of nine gold and eighteen platinum awards. Not to mention the three albums in the German top ten or the more than 5 million records sold, which make him one of the country's most successful artists. There are rappers and then there is BAUSA.
