Since his civil name Andac Berkan Akbiyik is neither easy to pronounce nor easy to remember for people who have no Turkish origins, he cuts it short and calls himself: BRKN. He grew up surrounded by music, instruments and big city flair in Berlin-Kreuzberg before establishing himself as a producer and singer by joining artists like RAF 3.0, K.I.Z and Said. Now the big solo career can get started.
The musician immediately convinced us through music packed with devotion and contrasts that only a youth life in Berlin, lived between different cultures can generate: "Talented but broke, German but a wog, HipHop but Soul. Such a guy can't really do anything from "9 to 5" and prefers to do what he does best at any time of the day (or night): Music. BRKN sings and raps in German language and will perform for the festival crowd live at DEICHBRAND Festival 2019!
