of clubs again cigarettes on the floor where. get a bit i want to revive the nice feeling of the old days so that's why i'm going back to smaller venues ok so some fans are prepared to wait for hours even to below freezing temperatures. we've all got a ticket so what are you standing in line for so that we can be at the front. it's warm and cozy and. doesn't mind the fans getting right up close to him but when it comes to his music he wants to be free to. never only done rap or pop or rock i've always been three i don't want to be pigeonholed anywhere. in two thousand and twelve when he posted a clip for his song easy. to

awards including the echo and it's now a huge star. and his recipe for success is pretty simple no time himself in knots for fame. he's on knows the time got nothing to do other than philosophize about life about things and ideas i just scribble things. i don't need to put bricks on top of each other punching holes and staple things together. like it just spend the whole day looking into space and thinking about the world and doesn't touch my junk and of course there's money. but it might become a bit more stressful for karl later on in the year in the summer he will be playing festivals and his stay true to our big concert halls will kick off in november. we found the female equivalent of crow on fox no one knows who the rep you had the

important to me to tell my story myself and it really is very autobiographical it's about what's happened since probably trial but i also wanted to give a more modern and hopefully more realistic view of an african country i was awfully conscious on the side i experienced many things in uganda that many people in germany can't even imagine much forgot a four stroke was in two thousand and twelve sabrina harris spent a year doing voluntary service in rwanda the neighboring country of uganda. later she travelled around east africa and particularly like the ugandan capital kampala and that's where it started she was at a bar where they played live music and she began to sing a music producer happened to be in the audience going on i had to and he just asked almost jokingly whether we should record something i said yes and we went to a studio and wrote a song and luganda it and off we recorded it made a video and posted it online big media organizations were already running the next
