Ezé is a multifaceted Black artist from Burkina Faso who celebrates his migrant background. Born in Ouagadougou, Ezékiel Wendtoin Nikiema, aka Ezé, only truly became Black in Germany. By this, he doesn't mean his skin color, but rather the political dimension of being Black in Germany. The multi-award-winning artist empowers himself through his music in a society where Black Africans are often pigeonholed, a role he powerfully defies.

Ezé: 10 Jahre zwischen Welten!
With his new DIY album, "Schwarz wurde Ich" (I Became Black), he once again becomes a bridge-builder between people, pulling no punches: Without shying away from painful topics, he writes about his own experiences with wit, clarity, and a touch of humorous irony. His fourth album is Ezé's most political and personal to date. It also opens a new musical chapter.
Rhythmically, "Schwarz wurde Ich" returns to its Afro-African roots. Dynamic and danceable sounds embrace cosmopolitanism and are primarily inspired by Afro-beats, Afro-trap, Amapiano, drill, and West African vibes. Ezé sings and raps mainly in German about racism, displacement and migration, the climate crisis, masculinity, and vulnerability. As usual, the post-migrant album will be multilingual. The album's diversity is also reflected in the features from various dedicated guest artists.
