“It’s a warm summer in 2007. I’m 25 years old, I get unemployment benefit 2 and somehow my music just doesn’t work at all,” remembers Marten Laciny (38), the real name of Marteria. “I’m having lunch with my mom and a message comes in on MySpace. It’s from Jan Delay.”

What was in this should change Marteria’s life in one fell swoop: “He asks me: Hey Marteria, are you up to accompany me on my big hall tour as a support act?”

Hip-Hop Legend Jan Delay (45), who in addition to his solo career is also enjoying huge success as a member of the (Absolute) Beginner, recognized Marteria’s potential long before his songs were played up and down on the radio, he filled gigantic concert halls and tens of thousands of rap fans at festivals enthusiastic.

In December 2007 Marteria stood on stage in front of Jan Delay under his second stage name Marsimoto.

“Oh my god .. ???????????? That was a very formative day and moment for me because it was just the beginning and I was finally able to prove myself in front of a large crowd,” said Marteria.

In spring 2008, the rapper finally signed his label deal with what is now his label, Four Music.

The reason for this reminiscence of the beginning of his career is by the way Jan Delay’s new song “Eule”, on which Marteria herself can be heard as a feature.

It’s nice to see that these two artists haven’t lost sight of each other even after all these years.
