RAMI*

Rami Hattab becomes RAMI.*MI* – FOUR LETTERS AND A STAR

RAMI* doesn’t make music for the background.

His songs are direct, unsettling and emotional – yet at the same time designed to get you moving.

German songwriting meets pop, indie and driving electronic beats. Social commentary meets euphoria. Reflection meets dancing. Because for RAMI*, music isn’t simply entertainment. It’s a way of voicing things that often get lost in everyday life. His songs deal with social pressure, conformity, social differences, fear, freedom and the question of how much of one’s own life is actually one’s own. Yet RAMI* doesn’t lecture from on high or point the finger. He places himself right at the heart of it all.

Songs like ‘Shut Up and Dance’ sum up this attitude perfectly: life is too short to put things off until ‘sometime’. Too short to constantly conform, to wait for the right moment, or to let others tell you how to live.

Dancing becomes an act of rebellion.

This attitude doesn’t stop in the studio. RAMI* performs on club and festival stages, but just as often on the streets, in train stations, supermarkets or public spaces. With a speaker, a microphone and direct contact with the crowd, situations arise in which the boundary between stage and audience disappears.

It is precisely this immediacy that is a central part of RAMI*. His music has long since built up a large following. Songs such as ‘Goldener Handschuh’, ‘Wenn ich tanz’, ‘Perfektes Leben’ and ‘Halt’s Maul und tanz’ have racked up millions of streams and views. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of people follow him on his social media channels. Yet figures tell only part of the story.

Live, the songs foster a sense of community. His concerts aren’t about a perfectly rehearsed distance between artist and audience. They thrive on closeness, spontaneity and the feeling that anything can happen that evening.
