More than 15 years ago, Marten Laciny set out in search of the perfect song. He found it—time and time again—and, as “ Marteria ,” shaped the musical sensibilities of a generation.
Having grown up on ’90s rap, he blends the rawness and DIY spirit of that era with forward-thinking electronica and pure, uncompromising pop, creating an incomparable sound that touches millions. of From platinum albums and No. 1 hits to countless awards and major collaborations, all the way to a sold-out Ostseestadion in his hometown of Rostock—it’s hard to deny that, even years later, Marteria remains one of the most important German-language artists of our time.
A born explorer and avid angler, Marten Laciny has traveled the world like few others, with boundless curiosity and an unparalleled gift for connecting with people and nature. Marten’s genre-defying art, his down-to-earth sense of humor, and his positive approach to making the world a little bit better every day have elevated him, in the eyes of his fans, far beyond the status of a music star—to that of a true friend.
