Life

Fleur Earth spent most of her childhood and youth in the Congo. In 1989 she moved with her family to Cologne , where she later began an apprenticeship as a power plant electronics technician. In addition to her education, she started making music. At an open mic session in 2005, Fleur Earth met the musicians Lunte, Quo Vadis , Doctor Dondo LAH and Twit One (Tim Purnell). Shortly afterwards she founded the Fleur Earth Experiment with Tim Purnell (bass), Lewis Gropp (drums) and Daan Henderson (keyboard). Twit One was also responsible for the large number of beats on her Melting Pot Music albums "Skurreal" (2008) and "Es haben Wesen" (2009). With Quo Vadis, she had the research and facets project in 2011 . In addition, she worked a. a. with Hulk Hodn , Suff Daddy , Retrogott , Frank Nitt , Q-Cut , Lazy Jones and Monokle . Her album "Explosionsschutz - Kurzschluss" was released in February 2014.

On the album "Habakuk" by the Cologne rapper Tami, which was released in January 2016 by 'Bassukah / Delta Music', she sings the chorus for the track "Antenne". In addition, she contributed the background vocals on the album "Das Leben ist schön". In June 2017 she also had a collaboration on the album '1000 Hours Phunk: From the South with Love "by the Nuremberg rapper Kuchenmann .

Fleur Earth released the album Megaherz on March 29, 2019 on Vinyl Digital. The publication took place 5 years after the last album release. Like the pre-production, the instrumentals were contributed by Heinrich (aka Anthony Sample).

Create

Fleur Earth was one of the first musicians to adapt the artistic ideas of neo-soul for the German-speaking area . American singers such as Erykah Badu , Stacy Epps or Georgia Anne Muldrow are often used as comparisons. Like these artists, Fleur Earth turns her music against macho and sexist tendencies in rap . In her chant, which is provided with associations , ellipses and metaphors , she relies on a rhythmic expression of emotion rather than calculation.
