"I rapped for fun but don't release stuff - Adri told me to just do it," raps Berlin high-flyer Ski Aggu. Who is this Adri that Aggu keeps mentioning?

Adrian Julius Tillmann first made a name for himself in Berlin's creative scene as an actor. Among other things, he starred in the Netflix series "Biohackers." In 2020, after encouraging his best friend Ski Aggu to release music with great success, he finally took the plunge himself in 2023: with the release of his debut single "Einsame Insel," the musician Ritter Lean was born.

The fact that Ritter Lean comes from film is not only noticeable in his image-rich videos, but also in his largely self-produced music. His lively storytelling could not be more captivating. Thus Ritter Lean tells true-to-life stories of lost souls in the techno capital, of never-ending evenings in dirty bars and his constant tendency towards extremes. He tries to hide his big ego just as little as his vulnerability. For his stories he finds a language unprecedented in German indie pop: dirty and rough, but honest and unafraid to provoke.
