Yasha Conen, also known as Yasha, was born in 1981 in Berlin, Germany, and is a German rapper, singer, and songwriter who emerged from the Moabit neighbourhood. After forming the hip‑hop quartet Moabeat with his brother David and two peers, the group disbanded in 2004, prompting Yasha to pursue a solo career while his brother joined DJ Illvibe in the production duo The Krauts. In 2010, he featured on Marteria’s "Verstrahlt", which entered the German and Austrian Top 40, and later collaborated on "Lila Wolken" with Marteria and Miss Platnum, whose title track topped the German single charts. He signed with Four Music in May 2013, released the single "Killing Me" with Lexy & K‑Paul, and launched his debut album Weltraumtourist in the same year, preceded by the single "Strand", which reached the German Top 20.
