INSIGHT
O₂  operates its own music studio in Hamburg to embody its "can-do" spirit in urban culture. However, the studio is not easily accessible for emerging artists across Germany.

IDEA
To empower German music newcomers, we brought the O₂  Music Studio on Tour: a mobile recording booth traveling nationwide, giving talents everywhere a chance to break through.

EXECUTION
We partnered with hip-hop legend Kool Savas to promote the tour. In each city, we scouted three finalists via social media. Ultimately, Kool Savas personally selected one winner to feature on a professionally produced track at the O₂  Music Studio in Hamburg.

The contestants
The winner ANNOUNCEMENT
YAKO OK
..., a young Gen-Z artist with no prior industry experience, won the first contest with his standout bars and unique voice. He recorded "okayletsgo", a duet with Kool Savas built around a viral internet meme sample, seamlessly blending meme culture with hip-hop. Kool Savas’ team produced a music video for the single, which garnered 130,000 views on YouTube – proving
O₂’s ability to spot and elevate raw talent while pushing the boundaries of urban music.
