The figures speak for themselves: more than five million records sold, two billion streams and soon one billion YouTube views. Plus 28 gold and two platinum awards for his albums - a success story that could not have been foreseen when Kontra K released his debut album ‘Dobermann’ in 2010. He entered the top ten for the first time in 2013 with his third longplayer ‘12 Runden’. His absolute breakthrough came shortly afterwards with ‘Aus dem Schatten ins Licht’ (2015) and his first number one album ‘Labyrinth’ (2016). Subsequently, all seven albums up to and including ‘Die Hoffnung klaut mir niemand’ (2023) reached number 1 in the charts.
In 2023, Kontra K also celebrated his first two number 1 singles: ‘Summertime’ as a duet with Lana del Rey and ‘Die Sonne’ featuring Santos. The MTV EMA Award for ‘Best German Act’ was the perfect way to round off what was probably the most successful year in the rapper's career. After his last tour to date, which also took him to the Olympic Hall in March 2024, Kontra K will now be touring the country in autumn 2025 with his powerful lyrics, infectious beats and, of course, another spectacular stage show.
