BERF

Berfin, known as BERF, is a DJ and producer whose work reflects a unique fusion of her multicultural upbringing and diverse musical influences. With roots in Bielefeld, Germany, BERF’s musical journey began in a household where cultural diversity was a way of life. Fluent in German, English, French, Turkish, and Spanish, with additional knowledge of Russian and Japanese, BERF’s ability to connect across cultures is evident in her music.

Her artistic journey started in childhood, influenced by her exposure to a wide array of music genres, from Hip-Hop and RnB to Rock’n’Roll, Jazz, and Balkan sounds. This eclectic taste laid the groundwork for her evolution as an artist, culminating in her current focus on electronic music, particularly Deep House, Techno, Acid House, and Breakbeats.
A skilled instrumentalist, BERF has played the Saz guitar and has a deep connection to the oriental music traditions of her heritage. Her diverse artistic experiences, including ten years of dance and singing in a church choir, further contribute to her distinctive sound and performance style.

BERF’s career milestones include the release of her debut EP on the prestigious ‘Music is for Lovers’ label the founding of her own label, Frebno, which promotes genre-crossing music from innovative artists. Her achievements also include an invitation to Warner Chappell Music’s Female Rap Camp and a self-organized Latin American tour, highlighting her independence and drive.

Her performances at iconic events such as Burning Man and the Bay of Dreamers Festival have solidified her reputation as an influential artist in the international music scene. Currently, BERF is focused on expanding her global presence, working on new projects, and pursuing her goal of creating and performing music that bridges
cultures and genres.
