Concord Music Publishing has announced the signing of acclaimed German producer Bazzazian to a new global publishing partnership covering all future works.
Over the past decade, Bazzazian has emerged as one of the defining figures in the German music landscape. Recognized for his unmistakable sonic identity and deeply personal production style, he has helped shape projects across the spectrum of German hip-hop and contemporary music. His work includes collaborations with artists such as Apsilon, Souly, Symba, Schmyt, and longtime collaborator Haftbefehl.
Most recently, Bazzazian was honored at the 2026 GEMA Songwriters Awards, receiving the German Songwriters Award for Best Hip Hop Composition, further highlighting his influence as one of the country’s most distinctive creative voices. His production catalog includes standout tracks such as “069,” “Ich Rolle Mit Meim Besten,” “RADW,” and “Lass Die Affen Aus’m Zoo.”
Beyond his work behind the boards, Bazzazian has steadily expanded his artistic reach as a performer and collaborator. He has appeared as an artist through projects including Die Achse alongside Farhot, The Opera with Miss Platnum, and most recently through his solo album 100Angst. The project features an extensive lineup of guest artists responding to his creative vision, 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,” added 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, 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 at Concord Music Publishing. “His productions have inspired me for a long time, and it’s a great honor 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.”
In recent years, Bazzazian has continued to draw widespread attention through his work with rap artist Haftbefehl, as well as the success of the documentary Babo – Die Haftbefehl Story, directed by Sinan Sevinc and Juan Moreno. Alongside his production work, he also contributed to the Netflix series Skylines, earning a Grimme Prize for his role in the project.
