about
boy from brazil is an electro punk artist who was brought to life in the winter of 2001, in the bowels of the city of Berlin.. With sub zero temperatures outside and little fresh air or natural light, the Boy (also known as Razi), locked himself into a stuffy basement with little more than a Macintosh and a vision, and emerged with a sexy, throbbing, and psychotic sound. Digging through the filthy debris of previous musical eras-50‚s rockabilly, 60‚s instrumentals, German electronic, 70‚s porn soundtracks, french pop, disco punk, and „Please Kill Me" bands, he developed a unique sonic scramble of pure and provocative music. In the late 1990‚s the Boy toured the world recklessly as front man and founder of hedonist trash band the Golden Showers (Reptilian Records). Before that he played bass (a.k.a. Iznogood) with the French/German pop phenomenon Stereo Total (Bungalow/Kill Rock Stars). Somewhere in between he formed a group Give Up (Digital Hardcore/Grand Royal) with Shizuo and Anika Trost (Cobra Killer) and toured the US as support for Atari Teenage Riot. He also has had an ongoing collaboration with former Golden Showers‚ bass player and now Electrocute (Emperor Norton) member Nicole Morier. Boy From Brazil over the past year has already made quite an impact playing Berlin and London building an impressive fan base including friends Peaches, Electrocute, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the latter of whom have asked him to open up for the some shows on their European tour.
