Jan Delay

Jan Delay, born Jan Phillip Eißfeldt, is much more than just a German musician – he is a cultural statement. Since the 1990s, the Hamburg native has shaped the German music scene with his distinctive voice, his unique mix of funk, hip-hop, reggae, rock, and soul, and his clear stance on important issues. With songs that touch the soul and beats that make you want to dance, he captivates a diverse audience across generations.

Jan Delay achieved breakthrough success with the legendary hip-hop group “Beginner”. As a solo artist, he made it to the charts numerous times with albums like “Mercedes-Dance”, “Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Soul”, or “Hammer & Michel” – winning the hearts of his fans in the process. His concerts are electrifying, political, and full of energy.

A special highlight in 2025: Jan Delay performed at the renowned festival LEGENDS AT THE SEA in early summer – right by the coast, under the open sky, accompanied by thousands of fans. An almost iconic performance in an unparalleled setting before a wildly celebrating audience – a true experience for everyone who was there.

With his iconic look – suit, hat, sunglasses – Jan Delay represents not only musical quality but also a strong stance. He speaks out against racism, exclusion, and social coldness. His music moves people – in both a physical and spiritual sense.

Whether on record or live on stage – Jan Delay remains unique, provocative, and unmistakably Delay.
