Dews Pegahorn

In less than a year, Dews Pegahorn has transitioned from a passionate DIY musician to a genuine phenomenon on streaming platforms, attracting millions of listeners. Well, that's only half the story. Before that, the Stuttgart-based singer and guitarist was already active as a hip-hop producer and frontman for various rock bands, with whom he gained experience both in the studio and on stage. He also already had classical vocal training under his belt. So many factors, dating back to his eventful biography as an artist, were responsible for the viral breakthrough of his single ‘Runnin'’ (2024) – and yet, in recent months, Dews Pegahorn has become a semi-secret tip among the press and indie connoisseurs alike. His inspirations range from Michael Jackson to 2Pac to the post-punkers of the eighties, which is evident in songs like ‘Son Of A Gun’ (2024) and ‘Madness My Love’ (2025). The result: a unique style and unique energy, which he likes to describe as ‘danceable manic depression’. Fits.
