The unknown sensation, Konrad fresh out from college has struck many people’s minds with his unique music. Recently around the world, Konrad has hit new heights he has never experienced before and "loves it". After touring America Konrad wants to settle down in the UK and focus more on his tracks to complete his albums.

Since the age of 6 Konrad has wanted to be involved in the rap game. He was first inspired by the song "big pimpin" by Kanye West in 2000 and he has been his idol ever since. From 9 years onwards he has had singing lessons and guitar lessons and has thrived in it ever since he started. At the age of 11 he started rap music and that’s where he thrived most. Through his teenage life he has excelled in music, getting as through all his music exams and thriving in all of the music productions at his school. At the age of 18 he left school to focus on his music life. He passed all his main exams which make him equip able for any job, however I don’t expect he will do anything other than music.

At the age of 14, Konrad has started writing some of his own songs. He writes, sings and performs all his songs. He normally has a bass to rap with, however he designs the base track as well making him an all-round performer. He has posted his songs onto YouTube and has a large amount of views. A well-known music producer saw his video and was very impressed and contacted Konrad, his music career started from here. He has his own YouTube channel and has thousands of subscribers and is increasing daily. His channel is so well known, it is advertised on other YouTube videos increasing his fame and popularity.

Many people call him "the young Jay-Z" "rap maestro". His music reflects these nicknames and he is improving every second. We were fortunate enough to have a chat with Konrad. When recently asked "Is your music for your entertainment, or for the fans?" He replied “I do what I do as I love doing it, of course I take into account the fans reactions and reviews, but I mainly do it because I like too". We also asked him "Is your music lyrics based from experience, or made up?" he said "I write my music from personal experience, otherwise it would be fake and I am not that type of guy".

His debut album 'Spark' was a big seller; it was rivalling all the top main rap artists. His album went into the top 20 in the UK; this is incredible for his debut album. He is set to release his next album in the upcoming month and expects a bigger outcome than his first. Even though he is only an upcoming artist, he still achieves big things in his early days. Konrad is set off on a UK tour and will be performing at most of the UK festivals. He is the guy that can do it all, performing, wiring and promoting, what a guy. He takes every chance to get what he wants and thrives for success. All of his income is earned from his rapping, selling his CD's and performing at gigs. Even though he has not reached a global level yet, he could still rival all the top rappers as he is an all-round performer.
