BIOGRAPHY

EBOW first gained attention with guerrilla performances in unconventional spaces like laundromats, supermarkets, and trams. Today, the Vienna and Berlin-based artist performs on more traditional stages, but her message remains as provocative and political as ever. EBOW uses her platform to advocate for solidarity and equality, rapping against sexism, racism, and homophobia, both as a solo artist and as a member of the Gaddafi Gals.

Her debut album, Ebow (2013, Disko B), marked her arrival on the music scene, followed by Komplexität (2017, Problembär Records/Seayou Entertainment), which explores the diversity of society.

EBOW’s latest album, K4L (“Kanak 4 Life”), released on March 29, 2019, shifts the focus away from the individual ego often emphasized in rap, and instead celebrates community connections. The album touches on themes of family (“K4L”), friendship (“Slang”), the queer community (“Butterflies”), and migration experiences (“AMK”). In the title track, she proudly declares herself “Kanak for life,” a bold statement that challenges norms and carries a deeper, serious message about cultural and sexual identity. Through her music, EBOW redefines otherness and diversity, offering a fresh perspective on issues often overlooked in mainstream hip hop.

After touring across Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, EBOW also performed as the opening act on the main stage at the 10th anniversary of Popfest Wien. Her music continues to break boundaries, blending fierce feminism with a powerful call for social change.
