Roe Byrne
Dublin singer-songwriter Roe Byrne discovered music early, inspired by his father’s work as a stage technician and his first experiences at live shows. After starting on drums and later switching to guitar, he found his voice at 13 and shaped his sound through YouTube tutorials, open mics and, above all, busking in Dublin. The passing of his grandfather — who always encouraged him — marked a turning point in his artistic journey.
In 2024, his collaboration with twocolors opened the door to the German market, followed by his role as co-writer and vocalist on David Puentez’s radio hit “Burn.” Roe’s emotional pop-folk, influenced by Dermot Kennedy, Hozier and John Mayer, continues to attract a growing audience. With support from Dermot Kennedy, Roe is emerging as one of Ireland’s most promising new artists.
Kii
Kii from Regensburg defies every artist stereotype. Marked by early heartbreak, he turned music into his outlet and built an identity rooted in radical authenticity. Kii doesn’t hand out answers — he raises questions about masculinity, society, and the self.
His sound is melancholic, reflective and always tinged with a subtle wink. Rather than traditional rap, he delivers emotion with attitude: songs about pain, doubt and the strength to reinvent oneself — honest, raw and never without hope. Genre-fluid and distinct, his music shifts from dark to playful while maintaining a unique edge. Visually and sonically inspired by Drake, Tyler, The Creator and 070 Shake, Kii blends raw studio aesthetics with genre-crossing elements.
Lara
LARA is a rising artist from Berlin who’s been making waves for the past two years with her honest, vibey, and sometimes cheeky songs. What began as small piano snippets on TikTok after her first breakup has grown into an exciting independent journey. In the studio, she transforms raw emotions into her very own signature sound. With a stack of unreleased demos up her sleeve, LARA is ready for the months ahead. We can’t wait to hear more from her soon. And if you want a live sneak peek—you know where to be on September 27th!
MONEY BADOO
Money Badoo crosses cultural boundaries, blends genres, and moves with equal parts pleasure, provocation, and vision. On her debut PORN$TAR (2022), the Johannesburg-born artist fused trap beats with R&B vibes, hyperpop with soul, creating a confident signature sound. Celebrated as a multifaceted voice in South Africa, she is still a hidden gem in Europe. Her background as a stylist and photographer—working with brands like H&M and Puma—shapes her output: immersive works where visuals and sound intertwine. With her second album MSRYLUV$CMPNY (2025), she pushes this approach further, weaving in new influences while transforming pain into empowerment. This September, Money Badoo brings that energy to the stage.

Location
Locke at Eastside Gallery
Come to the Eastside!
Above the rooftops of the city, the creative pulse of Friedrichshain meets the nobility of a modern design hotel. At the same time, the Eastside Gallery is a place where a dark part of Berlins history comes to live: less than 40 years ago, the inner German border, nick-named the “death-strip”, meant a fatal end for more than 600 people who were seeking for the freedom we are enjoying today. Aware of the dark past of this location, Sky Mic specifically marks a place of creativity and openness to the world, where freedom and diversity are explicitly welcomed and celebrated.
