Maurice Conrad

Maurice Conrad doesn't fit into any pigeonhole. Uncomfortable and cheeky, originally a software engineer, rapper and connector of projection surface, irony and content: Maurice Conrad from Mainz has a lot to say. Dey's unabashedly liberated approach to gender roles and queer sexuality are a red rag for many, especially in German rap. But Maurice remains unabashed as a threat to established masculinity, representing himself with relish and creating discussion and visibility for a new generation.

Maurice's first self-releases did not go unnoticed for long: the music video for the song "CSD in Sonneberg", in which he participated in response to the election results, reached more than one million impressions on X and went viral on Instagram and TikTok. In the summer of 2024, a CSD was actually celebrated in Sonneberg for the first time - at which Maurice performed, of course.

Conrad counters any attempts at intimidation and threats with provocation and humor, even allowing them to become part of his musical development. Nevertheless, his music exists independently of his hatred of dey: self-ironic, cheerful rap meets electronic party hits. Live performances of Maurice cause quite a stir, especially when accompanied by the award-winning Female Producer of the Year "Aufmischen".
