Concord Music Publishing signs award-winning German hip-hop producer Bazzazian

Concord Music Publishing has signed German producer Bazzazian to a new global partnership covering all future works.

Over the past decade, Bazzazian has shaped projects across the spectrum of German hip-hop and contemporary music, working with artists including Apsilon, Souly, Symba, Schmyt and frequent collaborator Haftbefehl

Bazzazian won at the 2026 GEMA Songwriters Awards, taking home the German Songwriters Award for Best Hip-Hop Composition. His work includes tracks such as 069, Ich Rolle Mit Meim Besten, RADW and Lass Die Affen Aus’m Zoo.

Beyond his work as a producer, Bazzazian has appeared as an artist himself through projects such as Die Achse alongside Farhot, The Opera with Miss Platnum and most recently on his solo album 100Angst. The album features a line-up of guest artists, including Casper, Blumengarten, OG Keemo, Brutalismus 3000 and Trettmann.

“I’m really looking forward to working with Adrian and the entire Concord team,” said Bazzazian. “For a long time, I’ve wanted to take my music into a more international space – whether with bigger or smaller artists. We share the same vision, and I’m excited to see what we can build together over the next few years.”

“We are very happy to have found the perfect publishing home for Bazzazian,” said Max Mönster, manager of Bazzazian at 10von10. “The boutique character combined with their global network creates a strong foundation for the years ahead. From our first conversations, it was clear that Concord truly understands Bazzazian’s artistic DNA, and we’re excited to get started with Kim [Frankiewicz], Adrian and the entire team.”

“Ben stands apart in Germany with his sound – anarchic, radical and full of unique energy,” said Adrian Hillekamp, director A&R, Concord Music Publishing. “His productions have inspired me for a long time, and it’s a great honour to accompany him on his journey. His intuition, versatility and curiosity, combined with an ability to communicate emotion in such an unfiltered way, make this an incredibly exciting partnership. We can’t wait to explore new creative paths together – both in Germany and internationally.”

Alongside his production work, Bazzazian worked on the Netflix series Skylines, earning a Grimme Prize for his contribution.
