About

Since 2016, Hush Hush has been operating at the intersection of music, branding, and culture, with a particular focus on urban, indie, and pop music. What started as a concert series has grown into a network of artists, creatives, and partners that organizes more than 300 events each year, ranging from intimate club shows to large-scale festivals.

We collaborate with renowned artists such as Querbeat, Lugatti & 9ine, Little Simz, 070 Shake, and SSIO, supporting their projects from the initial concept stage through to major live performances.

Through our Concert Management, Artist Management, Marketing, Booking, and Brand Partnerships departments, we bring projects to life from concept to execution.

An important part of our work takes place at the CBE and YUCA venues in Cologne. Here, we create opportunities for emerging artists to perform live for the first time. Many acts played their early shows on these stages before taking the next step in their careers.

Alongside artist management and live projects, we develop our own formats, such as Hush Hush Crew and Radio Sabor, strengthening our connection to urban music culture and local creative communities.

We are Hush Hush.
