Molley

Biography

In 1986, at the age of 4, Molley fled the civil war in Liberia for Germany. There, in the late 1990s, he discovered hip-hop. By the age of 17, he was opening for Sido, K.I.Z., Kollegah and performing at Kool Savas' after-show party. His music oscillates between political rap, afrobeat and indie soul, defending love, solidarity and respect. It's not only musically that Molley takes a clear stand against racism, sexism, homophobia, hatred and violence, he's also an active member of the N-Wort Stoppen Initiative and cooperates with other initiatives such as Seebrücke, Wir sind Alle Mittendrin, Artists for Peace. In collaboration with Phyllis Quartey and Joanna Peprah, he directed this year's Diaspora short film program.
