German/South African singer-songwriter and saxophone talent Cellz set out on his musical journey as a genre-blending DIY artist, in 2020. He delivers fresh perspectives to melodies and writing, with immersive and heartwarming vocals that fuse Neo Soul and Alternative R&B, making a lasting impression. Drawing inspiration from artists like Chet Faker, FKJ and Braxton Cook he describes his sound as a mix of morning croissants and café vibes, a bit of Old Fashioned and hotel bar sophistication, and some chill moments with friends, enjoying a spliff and mango juice. Live, he brings his upbringing around German Hip-Hop, alongside his band of five. Across his time as a newcomer he has worked with internationally renowned producers such as Blue Glass (Antigua), Depart (Turkey), Fatbabs (France) and Marc Ronin (South Africa), with each new track gaining further tastemaker attention.
