Anna Grillmeier ist eine vielseitige Musikautorin und Sängerin, deren einzigartige Stimme ebenso facettenreich ist wie ihre Songs – kraftvoll, zart, erzählend und immer unmittelbar. Aufgewachsen in einem kleinen Dorf in Bayern, studierte sie Jazz/Pop mit Hauptfach Songwriting an der Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln. Zwischen Soul, Pop und Rap bewegt sich ihre Musik mit großer Leichtigkeit, inhaltlich bleibt sie stets tiefgründig und nah an den Menschen.

In ihren Songs verbindet Anna gesellschaftliche Themen mit persönlichen Geschichten. Sie schreibt über mentale Gesundheit, das Älterwerden, Neuanfänge, Sexismus oder politische Teilhabe – klar, ehrlich und mit Haltung. Mal poetisch, mal direkt, immer aber spürbar. Ob als Solokünstlerin oder mit dem Duo 2xLEBEN: Ihre Musik will nicht nur gehört, sondern gefühlt werden.

Neben ihrer Arbeit als Performerin und Songwriterin komponiert Anna auch Musik für Film und Serien. Zuletzt schrieb sie Musik für die RTL+ Serie „Softies“, die am 6. Juni erscheint – eine Arbeit, in der sich ihr Gespür für Atmosphäre und Emotion besonders zeigt. 2023 erschien ihre introspektive EP „raum“, 2024 tourte sie mit eigener Band durch Deutschland und veröffentlichte eine Reihe energiegeladener Singles, viele davon selbst produziert. Außerdem steht sie neben Größen, wie zB Moses Pelham oder DJ Ötzi auf der Bühne und singt Backingvocals und spielt Keyboard.

Anna Grillmeier is a versatile songwriter and vocalist whose unique voice is as multifaceted as her music — powerful, tender, storytelling, and always direct. Raised in a small village in Bavaria, she studied Jazz/Pop with a focus on songwriting at the University of Music and Dance in Cologne. Her sound moves effortlessly between soul, pop, and rap, while her lyrics remain profound and deeply connected to the human experience.

In her songs, Anna blends societal themes with personal stories. She writes about mental health, growing older, new beginnings, sexism, and political participation — always clear, honest, and with a strong sense of purpose. Sometimes poetic, sometimes straight to the point, but always deeply felt. Whether as a solo artist or part of the duo 2xLEBEN, her music isn’t just meant to be heard — it’s meant to be felt.

Alongside her work as a performer and songwriter, Anna also composes music for film and television. Most recently, she wrote the score for the RTL+ series Softies, which premiered on June 6 — a project that showcases her sensitivity to atmosphere and emotion. In 2023, she released her introspective EP raum, followed by a 2024 tour across Germany with her own band and a series of high-energy singles, many of them self-produced. She also performs regularly as a backing vocalist and keyboardist alongside artists such as Moses Pelham and DJ Ötzi.

When it comes to clear-cut, highly effective House music, there’s almost no chance you haven’t heard of German prolific artist Marc O’Tool yet or at least danced your socks off to some of his productions. Born and raised in Essen, Marco became an active part of the electronic music scene at a time, when demos still have been sent out on tape. Running one of North Rhine-Westfalia’s first Techno venues, the “Passarella Club” that brought early legends such as Laurent Garnier, Daniel Bell or Jeff Mills, and his first signing with a record label went almost hand-in-hand. The course of what should determine his further life was set. 

Now, more than two decades later, he can look back on more than 200 releases and remixes for the likes of DJ Tiesto. It’s whether a secret nor his prestige that Marc O’Tool was an influential figure of the Progressive House movement beginning of this century, with tracks such as “Passenger” or Criss Source’s “Hugs’n’kisses” becoming crossover club hits on an international level.

Surviving far more than one musical craze by constantly reinventing his artistic roots, Marco has grown from a club dj and producer to a versatile musician and business man, running his own record label Mauritius Music, producing various acts, composing music for commercials and being sponsored by diverse industry brands.
