Deutscher Jam presents:
Guten Tag Richmond, I hope you’re enjoying what Deutscher Jam has to offer so far.
This show through myself should again give you a insider look into what the country really looks like! I chose to create Deutscher JAM to fully focus on Germany along with its language because it is a part of who I am, and I feel it is my duty to expand my love for the language in order to promote a more global society aka make it the German word: Multi-Kulti. .I was born and raised in Germany for 18 years – its culture, traditions, values, and way of society has shaped my view of the country and the world around it. That along with growing up in a multicultural household with an African American father and a German mother has gifted me with the ability to fluently live in two different worlds. This fluency gives me a great understanding on what the country truly has to offer and translate it to an English-speaking audience. The music in specific has always played an intricate role in my life in one hand growing up I listened to artists such as Jay-z, Salt & Pepper, Nelly, Eminem and Outkast. Then, on the other hand, I also listened to German artists such as Sido, Xavier Naidoo, Cro, SXTN, and Die Fantastischen Vier. I noticed that music was the key factor in my fluency of both languages. There has been an ongoing movement through Hip-Hop of Germans attempting to reshape and rebrand the face of Germany in a more positive and open light. Germans have taken a genre introduced to them in 1989, reworked it into their own entity and used it as form of social justice, empowerment, diversification, and push for pride in national identity.
