Zartmann is a German singer, rapper, and songwriter.
Musical career
[edit]Zartmann went to school in Alt-Hohenschönhausen. He wrote his first songs on the guitar and recorded them with a producer who also became his manager. Musically, he oscillates between rap and pop. The first hype arose with the song "2 Blocks."[1] This was followed by the EP "11 bis 2," which was released on 10 February 2022. Shortly thereafter, he broke up with his manager. Zartmann was stuck in an unfavorable contract for over a year and was unable to release any new songs, which he made public in a TikTok message. In retrospect, the artist explained that his ignorance had been exploited.[2] In April 2023, he returned with the song "Ein Anruf entfernt."[3]
In 2024, Zartmann performed as the opening act for 01099 and released the song "Zu stolz."[4] With "Wie du manchmal fehlst," he reached number six in the German charts together with Ski Aggu and won the 1Live Krone for Best Alternative Song in 2024.[5][6] The song "Tau mich auf" reached number 1 in the German singles charts in February 2025.[7][8]
Musical style
[edit]Musically, Zartmann blends pop vocals with rap. His songs are mostly emotional and melancholic.[4]
Personal life
[edit]Zartmann keeps his name and age private, explaining that he does not want his private life to be exploited.[2]
