	Fetsum (Berlin, Germany) FETSUM’s first musical explorations saw him circulating amongst Stuttgart’s flourishing 1990s hip hop scene, but, though the first album he ever bought was by Public Enemy, this was never quite where his musical talent belonged.

Other offers soon came in: support slots for the likes of Estelle, K´NAAN, Söhne Mannheims and Peter Fox. It was also Patrice who enabled him to record THE COLORS OF HOPE, which was laid down in the international star’s Supow Studio in Cologne.
