Outside: A few kilometers from the port of Hamburg, nothing resembles a big city. There are farms and meadows here. The old farmer house with brick brick brick, in which Marlo Groshardt lives, is at the top of the dam. At a distance, you can see the AFD flag contractions. In Grogrhardt, on the other hand, on it the white banner hangs blue waves, rescuers and binoculars. The sign of the sea initiative, which is committed to refugees in the Mediterranean. A small sign adheres to the green front door: “All refugees are welcome.”
Inside: Rain jackets and rubber boots are in the corridor. The furniture looks ancient and special. Independent pictures hang in the kitchen. Apresso boiling break on the stove. Mother cuts flowers for the bouquet. Marlo Grrushadt wears woolen socks and a black sweater. “One last song about love” on it. The view of the garden falls through the kitchen window. The blue construction vehicle is in the shadow of fir in the meadow.
House: “I always lived in Hamburg and did not leave even after graduation,” says 23-year-old. Why not? “Everything is always suitable here.” He got along well with his family. For a long time they lived together, mother, stepfather and his two younger brothers and sisters. But now Groxhadt should start the project of the house. Another musician moves to the old farm house, the third person is still looking for them. “We want to create music together.”
Make music: Gror -Hardt plays an acoustic guitar and sings. Sometimes his songs are calm and melancholy. Then so fast that you can dance on it. After graduating from high school, Gror -Hardt visited pop music in Hamburg for several weeks. Previously, he did not have many musical experiences: “At that time, I could not imagine that people would like to work with me at all. These were all talented musicians on the course, ”he says. “On the other hand, I could not even read the grades.” It still worked.
“My head is actually only about music,” says Marlo Groshadt

Together, the family later went to the opposite demonstration from the right demonstrations of Monday. “In general, I positioned the environment, which greatly refers to the climatic crisis and the right extremism.”
Values: This is important for him. In one song, he sings in the most deadly way in the world of the route: Mediterranean. “With this song, I wondered how we can best submit an application for the song and whether it works at all,” he says. Nevertheless, he then wrote an email to the organization of the rescue of the Civil Sea Sea Pwatch, which sent him a video material. The finished film and his song were divided on the NGO channel. Again and again there are joint collectors of funds. Before the elections in the Bundestag, he went to the stage of various demonstrations against the right. “Sometimes I wonder how great the political effect of these demonstrations is,” he says. “But I also do not want to imagine what it would be like if it weren’t.”
Fear: “I am afraid of the future,” says Gorrggardt, when you ask him about it. Especially in January, shortly before the elections in the Bundestag, there were always moments when he “kicked”, he says. “I think that I never had a minute when I really shit, but suddenly I could see what was happening when the Nazis come to power.” And the fear of diseases, he too.

Until the doctors found the reason, six years have passed, then he operated on.

School time: He was at the Waldorf school in Hamburg. “I think that I would go to public school, because I really did not pay good attention and only built shit.” Many courses of art and artisan were good. “And I had no pressure to write good grades.” In addition, he was able to play in the musical “Miracle Bern.” In the twelfth grade, annual work consists in all Waldorf schools. All students are looking for a topic with which they have been dealing with practical and theoretically for twelve months. “Then I decided to make the music,” says Grogrdhardt. The school did not teach him to form a particularly good musician. “The lessons of singing or music were too dry because of the theory”
Every day: In the end, he learned to work at school on his own. Now this will benefit him in the studio, performances, dates of the media and on social networks. In addition, climatic blows and demonstrations are rightfully. “Every day is different; But my head is actually only about music, ”he says. Well, not always. Playing football and going to the stadium, he does this if he does not create music. “I have always been a fan of Pauli,” says Gror -Hardt.

Utopia: He is alone; who does not say much; but strength; If he can. “I am building my own paradise,” Grrushadt sings in the song. In another: “Come on, we are building colorful Bullerbyu.” The wild garden is reminiscent of this. There are no three Swedish lines, but at least a blue caravan, a bath and a tree on a tree. There are football targets in the meadow, and there is a scheme between the old apple trees. Independent pizza oven on the edge. “I built it with two friends.” Here you can hear the screech of the Seagull. The whole territory is similar to an adventure playground. Does a good life look like this?
Future: He dreams of playing Dokville in Hamburg “Because I am a hamburger.” More dreams? “Continue to make political music.” He and his team can simply live from music. Sometimes he doubts him, whether he can still live in this in the future. “What if the right extremists come to power? But if this does not work with music, I go to the musical industry. ” Gror -Hardt does not want to be discouraged.
