Ebow, real name Ebru Düzgün, born 1990 in Munich, is a German rapper. Ebow first attracted attention through guerrilla performances in laundromats, supermarkets or the streetcar. Today, Ebow, who lives and works in Berlin, performs on more conventional stages, but her message remains provocative and political. Solo, but also member of the Gaddafi Gals, she raps against sexism, racism and homophobia, for an open, solidary and equal society.


Project Description
Guerrilla performances in laundromats, supermarkets, and trams marked the beginning of Ebow’s career. Today, the Berlin-based artist performs on more conventional stages, but her message remains provocative and political. Solo, but also as a member of the Gaddafi Gals, she raps, among other things, against sexism, racism, and homophobia for an open, solidary, and equal society.

Ebow is Villa Aurora Fellow of Musicboard Berlin.
