In order to describe Matze's music, it takes more than a few of the usual pigeonholes.
De Matze makes German rap. Is he a hip hop head? Definitely no!
De Matze makes ballads. Is he a singer/songwriter? Neither!
De Matze makes guitar tracks. Is he a metal head? Rather not!
De Matze makes music! It's the term that best, and at the same time probably the worst, describes his style.
Music is the all-encompassing carrier, the artistic dress that is needed to underscore his lyrics. Lyrics from his own microcosm, always. Always very close to himself, always in sometimes painful self-reflection, always in his own reality, sometimes close to madness, not always in his own comfort zone.
In this constant up and down, the music has to support, it must not limit. And so the music builds on the necessary mood, and he doesn't give a damn what so-called genre it takes. The transport of the feeling is the essence of the whole, everything else has to be subordinate.
