Dota & Die Stadtpiraten

Dota Kehr is a songwriter, musician and singer from Berlin, Germany. She was born in 1979. Before starting with her current band, she gained experiences and influences as a street musician travelling across Europe. That's also where her alias "Kleingeldprinzessin" (small change princess) comes from. Since 2002 Dota plays together with Jan Rohrbach (Electric Guitar), Sebastian Vogel (Bass Guitar) and Janis G?rlich (Drums) as "Dota & die Stadtpiraten".

The music of "Dota & die Stadtpiraten" is very much influenced by brazilian music, as Dota and two members of the band spent some time in Brazil. Most of their songs are in German, but their sound has a touch of Bossa Nova or gipsy-swing. Dotas songs are rich in word play and internal rhymes with often humouros, sociocritical and emotional lyrics.
The band rejected offers from major record labels, so that they keep on selling their records themselves and mainly get promoted via word-of-mouth recommendation.
