Tell us about yourself, who are you and where do you come from?

My name is Robert, and I was born in Germany. I am the creative force behind ARTEKK, an emerging artist known for blending various musical genres to create a unique and captivating sound. With roots in Pop, Drum & Bass, Electronic Dance, and IDM, my music aims to inspire, motivate, comfort, and spread love and joy. I’m driven by a passion for meaningful engagement and fostering an environment of positivity and creative collaboration.

How was your passion for music born? Who are your idols?

My passion for music began at a young age. I started playing the keyboard when I was eight, and by the time I was eleven, my older brother gave me a guitar, which I quickly learned to play. All my musical skills are self-taught. At thirteen, I started hanging out in the band room of a local punk band, which eventually led me to form my own punk band as a drummer. Music has always been a central part of my life, and I love every aspect of it. I don’t have specific idols because I’ve always felt the need to carve my own path. However, there have been several influences on my music, including Rancid, REM, the Pulp Fiction soundtrack, Deadbolt, Northern Lite, Alfred Heinrichs, DGB, and KomaCasper.

What kind of music do you do?

I create a unique blend of Pop, HardTekk, Drum & Bass, Electronic Dance, and IDM. My music is characterised by robust piano and synthesiser melodies, powerful kicks, and sweet, luring vocals. This combination results in an uplifting yet deeply evocative soundscape that balances between ethereal chill and awe-inspiring strength. My goal is to inspire, motivate, comfort, and spread love and joy through my music.

What is the most important song for you? What message do you want to convey to the listener?

The most important song for me is ‘We Can Be Something.’ All my songs capture specific emotions that I experienced at the time of their creation, so each one holds a special meaning. My albums—Move in Dance, We Can Be Something, Anybody Out There, and Come Closer—each mark the end of a significant phase in my life. The song titles offer listeners a glimpse into these experiences. ‘We Can Be Something’ stands out as one of the most emotional songs I’ve written. The night I composed it, the woman I was in love with told me she didn’t see a romantic future for us. That moment was incredibly painful, and I channeled those feelings into the song. Through this track, I hope to convey the raw emotions of love, heartache, and the bittersweet realization of what could have been.

Why should a listener who doesn’t know you listen to your music?

Each song is a journey through my personal experiences, crafted to inspire, motivate, comfort, and spread love and joy. Whether you’re looking for something introspective or a track that’s ready for the dance floor, my music has something for everyone, resonating with both the mind and the heart.

What are your future projects? Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?

In the future, I plan to expand my collaboration with the German rapper Cors, which has already resulted in two very cool songs. Additionally, I aim to produce music for other singers, bringing new voices and perspectives into my work. I will continue to keep an open mind and experiment with different musical styles to further shape and refine the distinctive ARTEKK sound. In five years, I see myself living fully from my music, with a dedicated and enthusiastic fan base. My goal is to continue creating innovative and emotionally resonant music that connects deeply with listeners, inspiring and uplifting them along the way.
