Mina Richman - Grown Up - Stripped Down (Akustik Tour) + Lisa Akuah (Support)

Honest. Queer. Self-determined.
It is the search for a purpose, a perspective and a direction in life that drove the 25-year-old German-Iranian Mina Richman to music at an early age. Born in Berlin but raised in the small town of Bad Salzuflen, she commutes between worlds and discovers treasures such as Joan As Police Woman and Nina Simone in her aunt's CD collection. Soul and blues, hip-hop culture and the revolt of the great female singer-songwriters are her inspiration as she works on her debut EP "Jaywalker" (2022), with which she is nominated for the PopNRW Award as best newcomer. Raised by her father to be a feminist "by mistake" - as she once put it in an interview with Die Zeit - she used the famous Cher quote "Mom, I am a rich man" for her artist name.

The solidarity song "Baba Said" suddenly went viral during the revolution in Iran and made the queer German-Iranian famous around the world overnight. Combining the musical with the social has always been important to her. The debut album, which is scheduled for March 2024, also follows this credo and shows Mina Richman as a songwriter without competition. With renowned festival slots, including at Herzberg and Reeperbahn Festival, Mina shows that "at 25, she's already quite a power woman" (WDR5).
