Zymba, whose real name is Mert Bayer, was born in Flensburg in 2000 and grew up in Dorsten, North Rhine-Westphalia. His music combines trap, dancehall and club sound to create songs that are made for the dance floor.
He first got attention in Farid Bang’s casting show “Das Instalent”, in which he made it to the last four. The breakthrough came in 2022 with the single “666”, which took off on TikTok. Club tracks such as “Get Down”, “Red Cups”, “Champagne” and “Lean Back”, produced by Monami, followed.
Red party cups and tactical vests are his trademarks, on stage as well as in the videos. In 2024, Zymba played his first own tour through Germany, Austria and Switzerland with the “Ready for Take Off Tour”. With singles like “Hate Mich” and “Honeymoon”, he will follow up with new music in 2026.
