- That's how the rapper breaks out of routine
Bausa (35) is one of the most successful German rappers in recent years. With his track "What You Call Love", he broke through in 2017 and topped the charts. Since then, the man from Bietigheim-Bissingen has been an integral part of the German music scene.
In February 2025, the 35-year-old will embark on a major club tour through Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. "The tour is going to be really strong. After all the big shows, it's now back to the small clubs," Bausa says excitedly. Currently, the rapper wants to encourage his fans to make unusual decisions with "Twist my Song" featuring Oreo, which promotes more spontaneity and trying new things in daily life. He has remixed his hit "9 to 9" in various genres for this purpose. Bausa himself also wants to stay open to new things and break out of his routines. "If 'The Voice' asks, I'll sit on the chair right away," the rapper laughs in the interview.
Why did you decide to go on a club tour again, and what can fans expect?
Bausa: The tour is going to be really strong. After all the big shows, it's now back to the small clubs. Back to the roots, like with my first big number, the "Dreifarbenhaus" tour in 2017. I want to have that personal feeling again, where everything was much more real, and you could really feel everyone in the audience. I want to be right there with the crowd again. And I think the fans want that too.
What are your plans for the rest of the year?
Bausa: I have a lot planned for this year. My new album is, of course, at the top of the list. Besides that, I'm working on one or two new projects. One of them has to do with football.
What does a typical day look like for you when you don't have any commitments?
Bausa: When I don't have any decision-making stress or commitments, my day looks like this: I wake up, make myself some coffee, and then it's off to the gym. After that, I either hang out in the studio, work on new beats, or take care of personal things. Even as an artist, you still have to go to the dentist or visit mom, grandma, and grandpa. Just normal life, you know.
We make around 35,000 decisions a day on average, most of them unconsciously. When was the last time you broke out of your routines and tried something completely new?
Bausa: I recently went paintballing for the first time - that was something completely different and really fun. I broke out of my routine big time, and I can only recommend it.
With "Twist my Song" and the genre remixes of your hit "9 to 9", you want to encourage your fans to try new things in their daily lives. What are some things you'd like to integrate into your daily life?
Bausa: That's a good question. I've thought about cycling more, but I'm still far from that. Motorcycling would definitely be fun - I'd really enjoy that.
At the beginning of the year, you won against actor and musician Emilio Sakraya in "Schlag den Star". That was also a new experience. Would you like to appear on TV more often?
Bausa: I wouldn't limit it to just TV. If there's a cool show or idea, I'm always up for it, whether it's on TV or other projects. I'm in if it's really fun. It just has to fit.
Would you consider being a jury member on "The Voice" or "DSDS"?
Bausa: If "The Voice" asks, I'll sit on the chair right away. I think it would be great to support the people and see what they've got.
The rapper explicitly mentions his interest in joining "The Voice" as a jury member, stating, "If 'The Voice' asks, I'll sit on the chair right away." When discussing his club tour, Bausa reflects on his past and explains, "Back to the roots, like with my first big number, the 'Dreifarbenhaus' tour in 2017. I want to have that personal feeling again."
