biography
Karim Russo is a Swiss and Italian citizen, but he has his roots in Tunisia and Macedonia. He is a trained psychiatric nurse and is socially committed, in particular he supports disadvantaged children. Based on this, 19 and 2 stand in his rapper name for the letters S and B, the first letters of Sick Baby . Monet is derived from the painter Claude Monet .
In 2017, at the age of 19, he published his first song Tout le jour on the Internet and immediately achieved a high number of hits, as did the following year with song number two, Jage die Mi000000 . He quickly achieved 7-digit views and 5-digit follower numbers. In April he made it into the Swiss charts with his first EP 192 with these two and four other titles . In 2019 he was particularly successful with Badmómzjay and the song Papi on both YouTube and the streaming provider Spotify . In the summer he was booked for the Openair Frauenfeld , the largest hip-hop festival in Europe. In November he was one of the five nominees for the MTV Europe Music Awards for best Swiss act.
At the beginning of 2020 he won the award for best talent at the Swiss Music Awards . The big breakthrough beyond Switzerland came a few months later with participation in the album Soko Disko by the German rapper Dardan . The common song H <3tel entered the German charts at number 2 and also made it into the top 10 in Switzerland and Austria.
