Sand beneath your feet, the endless horizon and the feeling of simply being able to dive right in - it's only logical that a special place like St. Peter-Ording is not only a wonderful place to spend a holiday, but that the special flair also inspires one or two musicians to create new works.
It all started years ago with Johannes Oerding. Many of his songs were written at the StrandGut Resort. In the meantime, we have become a real second home for him and many other musician friends and maintain a very special friendship with all of them. The evenings (and nights) when one or two of them took over the bar themselves and mixed a few drinks with our crew are also unforgettable.
However, the musicians now not only come for the good drinks, but also to give a small, intimate live concert once a year at our StrandGut Sessions on the most beautiful natural stage in Germany. In recent years, we have already welcomed the following artists to our StrandGut Sessions: Wincent Weiss, Johannes Oerding, Max Giesinger, Fury in the Slaughterhouse, Wingenfelder, Wolfgang Niedecken (BAP) and many more.
About MoTrip
MoTrip was born on 7 March 1988 in the Lebanese capital Beirut with the real name Mohamed El Moussaoui. Just over 30 years later, he is one of the most important, most respected and most successful German rappers. This is no coincidence. ‘I was definitely born with an affinity for words from my father,’ says MoTrip. ‘My music is often about a better world, which may seem naive to some,’ says MoTrip. ‘The fact is, one person alone can't walk eight billion steps. But if every inhabitant of this planet takes one step, there will be eight billion in the end.’ In an increasingly divided society, MoTrip's music is a plea for cohesion and togetherness far removed from nationality and religion.
Through his participation in ‘Sing meinen Song’ 2020, MoTrip shows a whole new side of himself. He impresses with emotional song versions of the other artists in a way that has rarely been seen on the TV show. MoTrip doesn't just rap, he sings about his own personal stories and makes the songs his own. In doing so, he not only moves the other artists on the couch to tears, but an entire TV audience. This makes the otherwise tough-looking rapper shine in a whole new light: An emotional, intelligent young man who simply knows how to use words.
