Director Biography - XzudemX

"XzudemX" is a very peculiar/mysterious artist.
He is 27 years old and comes from Hamburg. He has been secretly making music for about 8 years and used to have a "rock/rap" band when he lived abroad.

He tries to keep his identity secret and doesn't like to be in the spotlight. This is because he has often dealt with the wrong people and believes that "real fame" (without a mask) can be a long-term burden and lead to many things in life falling apart or, even worse, they think they are better than others because of fame. XzudemX doesn't value money, fame, and expensive things and just wants to release music that inspires others and even motivates them to take their lives into their own hands and pursue their dreams!

In the past, he had a lot of struggles with heartache, which is why the content of his songs is often "happy" but also "sad" at the same time.

The artist was inspired by several other artists such as XXXTentacion (Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy) - Aminé (Adam Daniel) - Cro (Carlo Waibel) - Tobi Lou, and many other talented people in the world.

His goal is to reach many people with his music and actually "make friends" with many people. He despises negativity and always tries to be a positive person.
