Mina Richman

Mina Richman

Born in Berlin but raised in the small town of Bad Salzuflen, the queer German-Iranian commutes between worlds and discovers treasures such as Joan As Police Woman and Nina Simone in her aunt's CD collection. In 2022, she releases her debut EP "Jaywalker" (2022), with which she is nominated for the PopNRW Award as best newcomer. Raised by her father to be a feminist "by mistake" - as she once put it in an interview with Die Zeit - she used the famous Cher quote "Mum, I am a rich man" for her artist name. In her debut album "Grown Up", which will be released on 15 March 2024 on the Ladies&Ladys label, Mina Richman faces up to growing up. She returns to her childhood with a great deal of honesty and deals with quarrelling parents, cultural uprooting and the social and personal treatment of her body. Voted "this spring's most remarkable debut album" by Musikexpress, she moves between indie pop, soul, folk and blues in her songs, which "are practically unreferenced here for a long time" (Gästeliste.de).
