Ruby Tuesday | KILIAN KNIGHT + CLARA

In the organizer's words:

Kilian Knight tells us right at the beginning of his first interview that he comes from Wolfsburg. Wolfsburg? The city where VW and a sometimes better, sometimes worse works club come from? That's right! A 21-year-old musician who is currently making a name for himself as an incredibly exciting newcomer to the German indie scene and already has more than 1 million streams to his name.

Inspired by the music of his parents, especially artists such as the Beatles and Pink Floyd, he developed a passion for the sounds of past decades at an early age. These early influences are reflected in his music, which combines classical elements with modern production techniques and is very atypical for a 21-year-old who presents himself with his collection of over 400 records.

Support: CLARA

Triphop and indie pop in German doesn't work? Far from it: 19-year-old artist CLÅRA first appeared on the indie scene in May 2024 and delivered another exclamation mark with her 2nd single "alles/nichts" just a few weeks after her debut "Sommernachtstraum". The single that went straight onto the playlist covers of major indie magazines such as Flutwelle and Diffus Magazin, into interviews on radio stations such as MDR Sputnik and Radio Eins and onto Spotify's "Fresh Finds GSA" list. CLÅRA is still a bit of a scene hype, with a few thousand listeners a month, but that will change in the coming months when this voice settles in more people's heads.

Because this unmistakable deep voice combines depth, maturity and musicality that you wouldn't expect from a young East German high school graduate. Underneath it all, swirling club beats like Massive Attack. "It remains melancholy, but now with a groove. What happens to a fleeting party acquaintance? That's what "alles/nichts" is all about," says the 19-year-old herself about the new song, consistently pursuing her unconventional musical path.
