Early life

[edit]

Carlprit was born in Avenues, Harare, to a Zimbabwean mother and a German father. He grew up on Tom Ward Ave. by Cotswold Hills in Mabelreign, Harare. He attended North Park Primary School and Ellis Robins Boys High School before leaving Harare to live with one of his older brothers in Germany. The youngest of five siblings, Carlprit is the younger brother of rapper Metaphysics of Söhne Mannheims. At the age of 14 he moved to Germany with his brother Metaphysics where he first started releasing music.

Music career

[edit]

Carlprit first started releasing music after moving to Germany. He started off doing hip hop music but soon switched genre to EDM after being offered paying jobs for his vocal performances by German producers. He first gained recognition through his participation in the song "The Universe" by his brother Metaphysics. "The Universe" was released on August 25, 2003 on Metaphysics first studio album "Digitale Garten".

In 2006 he founded his own label with a friend, which later on was dissolved due to creative differences. He started releasing songs on YouTube, followed by a debut single called "What Up Girl" under the label Gandanga Music. The song was produced by DJ and producer KMX Musik, who also collaborated on songs such as "That's The Way I Am" or "All My Life".
