Carlprit, is a Zimbabwe-born German rapper, actor,
song writer and music manager. He has performed with and written for acts such
as Cascada, Alexandra Stan and Laurent Wolf. He is best known for his
appearance in 2009 on Cascada's hit single "Evacuate the Dancefloor"
which sold over three million copies worldwide and reached the top 20 on the
Billboard charts, making Carlprit the first person of Zimbabwean origin to have
a song in the top U.S. Billboard charts. He first started releasing records in
early 2000 after he moved to Germany. In 2003, he appeared on a record by his
older brother The Universe of the album Digital Garden. After that he began
releasing numerous unofficial mix tape remixes throughout his neighborhood but
was unable to receive any real recognition due to the language barrier that he
faced in Germany. In 2009, he was under the management of his older brother,
Metaphysics from the band Söhne Mannheims, Carlprit was then presented to
ZooLand Records. Zooland producer Yann Peifer recognized his potential and
offered to try him out on a new project they were working on. Three weeks
later, "Evacuate the Dancefloor" was produced and Carlprit featured
in the music video which was filmed in Los Angeles. The song was then released
in June 2009, where it topped charts internationally, went platinum in the U.S.
and reached number one in the UK and the Netherlands. Carlprit has since
released a number of singles and features. See lists below. He also joined a
Norwegian group called “Irresistible” for their participation in Melodi Grand
Prix 2012, which is the competition for selecting Norway’s Eurovision Song
Contest 2012 entry. They did not qualify.Listen song here:YouTube
