Yu/Leya @ Einfach Kultur

In the organizer's words:

Entry: 18h

Start: 7pm

Yu is the up-and-coming artist the German pop scene has been waiting for. Growing up in NRW as the son of a single mother, the singer and songwriter danced and sang alongside street musicians as a toddler before playing music on the streets himself as a teenager.

Yu was discovered on TikTok in 2022, where he presented his first own songs to a larger audience and filmed himself playing for the waiting fans in front of the halls of his great idol - Alligatoah, one of the biggest German musicians, thus became aware of Yu and promptly invited him to his "Retour", where Yu was allowed to perform live on real stages for the first time. The young talent was subsequently signed by Alligatoah's management.

Yu's lyrics are socially critical, always filled with a dose of irony and sarcasm. In his songs and on the streets, he fights for justice; his music is intended to inspire people to think and rethink.
