Vincent Stein (born 10 October 1983), known professionally as Beatzarre, is a German music producer, singer, rapper, songwriter and photographer. He became known both as a musician and member of the all-around duo SDP, and through his work as a producer in the German hip-hop scene. He frequently collaborates with producer Djorkaeff [de].

After Dieter Bohlen and the producers The Cratez [de], he is, along with Djorkaeff, the music producer with the third most number-one hits in Germany. He also ranks fourth on the list of musicians with the most BVMI-certified record sales.

Life and career

[edit]

Beatzarre began experimenting with rock and punk in the late 1990s. According to his own account, he only came to hip-hop through his interest in crossover music between rock and hip-hop, such as Rage Against the Machine.[1] Beatzarre first appeared in 2004 as the producer of a remix of the song "Geht's dir schon besser" by the pop duo Ich + Ich.[2] Soon after, he produced songs for the rapper Prinz Pi[3] and in the following years for various rappers (e.g., Sera Finale [de],[4] G-Hot [de],[5] MC Basstard [de]),[6] primarily from the Berlin scene. He has been working with the Akai MPC von Akai (eg. Akai MPC 2000 [de]), which is well-known on the scene, since his early days.[1]

Beatzarre became known to a wider audience in 2009 through his collaboration on the album Fler by the rapper of the same name.[7] This was followed by productions for other well-known rappers such as Sido[8] and Bushido[9] as well as various national and international pop productions.[2]

Stein studied music, education, and communication sciences at the master's level, but does not hold a degree.[10] For the university, Stein conducted a field study on the delivery of educational content.[11] This research project is called "Rapucation", which visited Berlin primary schools and presented rap songs with an educational focus. "Rapucation" is part of the 2007 thesis of Robin Haefs [de] at the SAE Institute.

In 2014, he produced and wrote the winning song "The One" for Deutschland sucht den Superstar contestant Aneta Sablik together with Djorkaeff, B-Case [de] and composer Oliver Pum [de] ihren Siegersong The One.[12] A week later, the track was number one in the German, Austrian and Swiss singles charts.

Beatzarre became known primarily for producing music for rappers such as Capital Bra,[13] Bushido,[9] Sido,[8] Fler,[7] Cro and Samra[14] as well as singers Mark Forster and Vanessa Mai.[15] He frequently collaborates with the producer Djorkaeff.[16]

He also works as a photographer and has already taken official press photos for artists such as Capital Bra, Samra, Sido, Bushido, Clueso and Alligatoah.
